Sao Ichikawa, Woman with Congenital Myopathy Wins Japan’s Akutagawa Prize
The protagonist of the story is a woman with the same serious disability as Ichikawa.
She describes her life in which she is forced to rely on medical equipment such as a ventilator and aspirator to aspirate her lungs, while at the same time humorously expressing her bitter sarcasm toward the lives of normal people.
The work is full of Ichikawa’s powerful words as a person with severe disabilities.
