Peninsula. Hisaki Matsuura

University professor Sakomura resigns and heads to the town of S on a remote peninsula. He seeks to escape the pressures of his circumstances and experience freedom, but the further he flees, the more the line between reality and imagination blurs. The peninsula becomes a threshold between land and sea, reason and desire, reality and dream - a space where the hero wanders through labyrinths of memory and longing, gradually losing touch with himself. For his novel "Peninsula", Hisaki Matsuura received the 2004 Yomiuri Literary Prize - one of the most prestigious awards in modern Japanese literature.
