死者の奢り [Shisha No Ogori] by Kenzaburō Ōe

The story explores the existential musings of a young medical student who works in a hospital morgue. As he navigates the routine of his job, he becomes increasingly preoccupied with the concept of death and the transient nature of life. His interactions with the deceased and the living lead him to reflect on the meaning of existence and the human condition. Through his introspection, the narrative delves into themes of mortality, the passage of time, and the search for purpose in a seemingly indifferent world.
