As he buys himself some new clothes, and then relaxes at a Turkish bath, we gradually learn what took him there:. Only the blue handbag remained in the center of the road as if to offer tangible evidence of his crime. A bundle of one-thousand-yen bills jutted out between the open clasps of the bag. The first chapter, though, is mostly taken up with his bath and massage, mixing his attempts to chat up the masseuse with memories of what brought him to this point, and of certain earlier experiences.
The Lake is a short novel, constructed from a number of scenes with little to connect them at times. For the most part we follow Gimpei, a man behaving rather badly, as he drifts around Tokyo, occasionally looking back on his life. Gimpei, as you may have gathered, is not the most savoury of characters; in fact, from the start, with his creepy talk during his massage, he comes across as rather sleazy. Have you ever had that experience⦠a feeling of profound regret after passing some stranger in the street?
The book is set not long after the war it was published in , and Gimpei is very much a man adrift. The lake itself? He recalls the time he follows a schoolgirl back to her home β while he was her teacherβ¦.
Even the structure of The Lake is somewhat jarring. With the money soon forgotten, we learn about her life and her much older lover, and what she does for him. At this point, it looks like the novel will be a two-strand work, comparing the twisted love lives of Gimpei and Miyako.
There are coincidental meetings between common acquaintances of Gimpei and Miyako, with both knowing certain people from different aspects of their lives, their public and private faces.
