A charmingly warm and hopeful tale of love, companionship, and the energy of human connection. Award-winning Japanese writer Shion Miura's novel is a reminder that a life dedicated to enthusiasm is a life well resided. Encouraged as a boy by the multiple meanings to be found for an individual term in the dictionary, Kohei Araki is devoted to the notion that a dictionary is a boat to carry us across the sea of words. But after thirty-seven years creating them at Gembu Literature, it's time for him to retire and find his alternative. He discovers a kindred heart in Mitsuya Majime - a, disheveled square peg with a penchant for collecting antiquarian catalogs and a background in linguistics - whom he swipes from his company's sales office. Led by his new coach and signed up with by a lively, if hesitant, new recruit and an elder linguistics scholar, Majime is tasked with a career-defining achievement: doing The Great Passing, a thorough 2,900-site tome of japan language. On his quest, Majime discovers companionship, romance, and an unbelievable devotion to his work, inspired by the connection that connects people: words.
