- Synopsis of content: This book is based on the author’s diary of the Sydney Olympics. It also includes a few pages on the Atlanta Olympics marathon, a male marathon runner’s training in Hiroshima, and an interview in Tokushima, and another interview, in New York, with a female runner. The author makes comments on historical, political, cultural, social, ethnic and Aboriginal issues, and on flora, fauna, media and publications. Despite the title, some diary entries are written in Brisbane, where the soccer games were held. Even though the diary mainly focus on the games, there are many interesting insights by the author about Australia. Since this book is written by the best known contemporary Japanese writer, his perspective about the Olympics is of interest to many international readers. This text is based on personal observation as well as referenced sources. His intensive coverage of issues in Australia provides a Japanese perspective on Australia.
