After the stubborn Shiomi insists on undergoing a dangerous surgical procedure and dies in the process, two notebooks turn up in his bedsheets : ´Flowers of Grass´unfolds as the narrator reads these two notebooks, asking himself if Shiomi´s death was a sort of suicide, and learning the details of his late friend´s two great lovers : for a brother and sister, both of whom reject him. Fukunaga himself spent seven years recuperating from tuberculosis following World War II, and drew on his own experiences to create a fully realized portrait of a young man of fastidious intelligence and great sorrow, dramatizing the possibility, having seen reality from the side of death and despair, of still choosing life.) |
