For me, on the other hand, it was the Year of Funerals. Friends and former friends died one after another, like ears of corn withering in a drought. I was twenty-eight. My friends were all about the same age–twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine. Not exactly the right age to die.–taken from New York Mining Disaster by Haruki ...
