This is the table of contents for my translation of the Japanese novel ”Sluggish Symbol, Inane Illusion” (緩慢な表象と虚ろな幻想) by Yuki Fujimura that I reviewed here.
Synopsis:
In the distant, but not too distant future, the profession of book author has disappeared. Every member of society is legally obligated to publish one book during their lifetime, but a second work is prohibited. Every book for sale in a bookstore is someone’s one and only published work.
This is the story of a boy who keeps his words close to his heart and a girl who is in love with the art of storytelling.
