Autumn Shadows in August【電子書籍】[ Robert W. Norris ]

＜p＞Modeled roughly on Malcolm Lowry's ＜em＞Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend is Laid＜/em＞, this novel is part homage to Lowry and Hermann Hesse, part mushroom retrospective, and part middle-aged love story. David Thompson (the protagonist in ＜em＞Looking for the Summer＜/em＞) is an expatriate American teaching at a Japanese university and suffering from hepatitis C. His wife Kaori is recovering from stomach cancer surgery.
