Читать книгу Are You an Echo? - Misuzu Kaneko - Страница 8

Setsuo was especially curious because he was a poet himself. So he began to investigate, but he could find no trace of Misuzu. The bookstore where she wrote was gone. And when Tokyo was firebombed during World War II, the only copy of her poems anyone knew about was destroyed.

Setsuo spent sixteen years searching. He scoured old bookstores. He tried to find people who had known her. Finally, in 1982, Setsuo made a breakthrough. He tracked down Misuzu’s younger brother Masasuke, who was then seventy-seven years old.
