"To combine daily time in all its humble and often harsh detail with the hidden, haunted psyche - how people see themselves from the outside, contrasted with their knowledge of their own wounded inner selves- is a potent achievement. Jirō Asada says that he based much of The Stationmaster on his own life, but in it a great many readers have recognized themselves. And this, perhaps, is the real clue to the popularity of this small but truly remarkable book."
- Excerpt from forward by Margaret Atwood
