The Meaning of Life, The Signs of Life
This book presents a conversation broadcast on public television in Japan—between veterinarian Keisuke Saito, a specialist in wild raptors, and the author Nahoko Uehashi, winner of the Andersen Award for Writing. Saito has made it his life’s work to explore means of coexistence with wildlife; he explains that he treats birds of prey because he wants to return them to the wild. Uehashi, for her part, asks questions of life and death repeatedly in her writing; her novel The Beast Player (forthcoming in English in 2018) features the main character Erin who says, “I wanted to let beasts born in the wild live the way nature intended.” (Shirota)
