Description

Ogata Shingo keeps growing old, and his memory is failing him. During the night he hears only the sound of death within the distant rumble in the mountain. The associations that have previously described his existence - together with his child, his spouse, and his beautiful daughter-in-law - are dissolving, and Shingo is found between love and damage. Exact and musical, The Sound of the Hill examines in immaculately constructed writing the reality we encounter in aging and the changing functions of love.
