Chronicle of My Mother

In Chronicle of My Mother Inoue tells without sentimentality about his strained relationship with his father, and his mother's illness, when she declines into senility. In his mother's fate the author examines the themes of loss, resignation, and loneliness — she forgets her marriage and husband and sinks into a timeless world of childhood images.
