Jack Don’s Reviews > Tokyo Ueno Station > Status Update

although he had a wife for decades someone who loved him cared for his parents raised his children,he didn’t really get to know her until the very end not knowing that it was the end
He talks about a homeless man who is killed by children, googled that to find out in the 90s. It was a thing in Tokyo, that children, middle school high school would kill homeless people “for fun” “relieve stress”

because his 60s they were better off his wife had saved money. They were comfortable enough and then one morning he woke up and she would usually already be awake and she wasn’t. He went to shake her and she was cold, and his wife passed away in her sleep, and he had had seven years with her but previous to that of the 30+ years before being married, he hadn’t even been able to spend a total year with her.

After being away from home for many years, leaving when he was 12 he returned home late 50s early 60s I don’t remember the exact age he was finally able to be home with his wife, but at that point his daughter was grown and out of the house with her own family, and he had never been able to be right. His son, and in youth almost had passed away, so he was with his wife And a friend told him consider it a honeymoon

Who the sound of traffic to the people has met through the history of the park that he lives in the history of the monuments in the museums that’s around him the wars that have happened other people have passed away in his life in or in his community

He transitions from talking aboutwhen he is alive to a time looking online, not being alive sporadically throughout the book there’s no clear indication you just know as you’re reading the next sentence, and he talks about those little things in life that you look back on you remember you see like people watching or hear otherwise conversation understand what’s going on other peoples lives The sound of traffic

Everything happens. This is me and the story starts and he’s already dead and he’s reflecting on life and that itself can be fine and that way it’s very literary fiction. Slice of life which I do enjoy those types of books so even though it’s very sad for me. I am enjoying it and he goes through talking in and out of him being alive and him not being alive.

This book is so sad to an unreal degree for me personally because I do not read sad books not only do not read often I don’t read them. I don’t know the saddest book I’ve read in the last two or three years that I’ve gotten back into reading because I don’t recycle books nothing against them that’s just never what I’m going for

Definitely thought this is me a fun lighthearted, silly goofy Reed similar to the rainfall market. It is not my understanding. The main character is dead and looking back on people who are still alive, reminiscent nostalgic, sad.
I’m not sure how he died yet. I’m not completely sure that he’s even dead but yeah.
