Appreciate a person's fine weather works

Nanae Aoyama has got rid of the fetters that the novel must be grand and fascinating, so that everyone in the novel can live a life with almost no plot. What's more, Good Weather for One shows a rare cleanliness. But cleanliness does not mean blank, and confession does not mean narcissism. The photos of dead cats, the gathering and dispersion of the station, the principle of point-to-point, the lyricism of shallow drinking, and the details are mixed with the breathing and heartbeat of each character.

The narrative of the novel seems careless, but in fact it takes great pains. Words seem light but heavy as iron. The circular chapter structure of "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" is full of meaning, and the depiction of nothingness goes deep into the texture. If Qingshan removes the slightly lengthy sentences in the novel, the novel will be more refined.

Theme of the work

Nai Nai Aoyama described the details of a Japanese "freelancer" living in Tokyo with his unpretentious style, highlighting the psychological problem of modern Japanese teenagers: spiritual invisibility after the loss of lofty ideals.

The hero of this novel, Zhi Shou, is an ordinary "flying man" (freelancer). Freelancers in Japan refer to people who have no fixed jobs, that is, scattered workers who have no social and medical security. In "Dirty Society" written by Japanese social observer Miura Zhan, this crowd is realistically described as the lower class, and this society dominated by the lower class is a "dirty society". By describing some life changes that have taken place in the girl "Zhi Shou" of the lower class, and her mood, attitude and feelings when facing these changes, the author puts into between the lines what attitude a young man who has just stepped into society should face society and life.

In nanae Aoyama's works, there is no deliberate stunt to satisfy young people's rebellion against the previous generation, and the secular life they agree with is no different from what ordinary people see and experience.

Evaluation of works

At first, I thought those conversations were very real, and gradually I was surprised by the accuracy of the author's observation or vision. The "core" location of the work "One's Fine Weather" is set as follows: the house where the hero stays is "the subway station opposite the fence of the small courtyard, with only a path in the middle".

The novel begins with a casual introduction to the station. After that, he appeared in various occasions corresponding to the hero's mood many times, even at an impressive ending. The platform of this station was "built" by the author according to his own vision and observation, and it also has symbolic significance like a landmark building in the whole work. The protagonist uses this place as a medium to look at the world and describe himself in the eyes of others. The author did not "consciously" set this place and its significance. It should be said that I caught something I didn't think of by intuition.

A writer wants to get in touch with something that comes from a deeper field than consciousness or reason by sharpening his eyesight and take it away. (Comments by Japanese writer Ry? Murakami)
