Review of “Bear’s Wood Main Line” (1974)
Tsutsui Yasutaka (writer).
Read in 2022.
A man looking for noodles accidentally breaks a rural Shinto taboo.
A more tedious retread of “Farmer Airlines” (1974) in the same genre of banter. Even the motif of transgression is just a throwaway joke. See The Sound of Waves (1954) for more gentle mockery.
