Literature exploring middle age and life transitions

Overview

Recent literary releases and guides have focused on the complexities of middle age and life transitions. In Japan, new works explore various aspects of this stage, such as Kaito Tohata’s ‘Middle Age Begins’, which uses interviews to address feelings of being lost, and Mili Masuda’s ‘The Night I Got Bored of Middle Age’, which employs humor to depict life at 50. Chiyo Fujino’s novel ‘Danchi no Futari’ examines the economic realities and companionship of single women in their 50s.

Furthermore, the Japanese translation of Miranda July’s novel ‘How to Crawl’ has been released by Shinchosha. The book explores themes of menopause, bodily changes, marriage, and identity through the perspective of a 45-year-old artist.
