Never in my life have I felt this. Nothing like this. I've felt shame and cowardice, weakness and strength.

The Japanese novels, by their nature, in the eyes of a Westerner are a bit strange. All the cultural background that is behind each line is completely different from that which accompanies the books that we usually read.
