The Autumn Gale

A stubborn teacher turned writer, an impoverished young intellectual, and a wealthy friend meet across the fault lines of modern Tokyo. For Dōya, literature has a moral purpose that money cannot measure. For those around him, keeping that faith alive means confronting illness, pride, dependence, and the practical cost of refusing to bend.
