Leonard Alfred George Strong えるえーじー すとろんぐ Winner

L.A.G. Strong's award-winning book, Travellers, is a collection of 31 short stories that quietly captures not only the feeling of movement and drift but also the atmosphere of place and the distance between people. Strong relies on sharp dialogue and close observation to build a sense of lived experience, letting unease and humor emerge from ordinary life.

A short-story collection that catches the drift of moving lives and the distances hidden in everyday scenes.
