It's Not a Coincidence. Japanese Chronicle

It's Not a Coincidence. Japanese Chronicle

On March 11, 2011, Japanese writer Ryoko Sekiguchi, who moved to Paris, learns from the news about the earthquake off the eastern coast of Honshu Island and the subsequent terrible tsunami and radiation disaster that claimed many lives. In an... effort to structure the horror that has befallen her, she begins to write a chronicle - a report on events in Japan and around the world. For Sekiguchi, notes about the disaster are a reflection on time and memory, on the random and the inevitable: is it possible to predict a particular turning point event? Why do people feel the temptation to compare Hiroshima and Fukushima? How is it that for some, disaster becomes something mundane, while for others, everyday life is catastrophic?
