My Deepest Desire

by Tamiki Hara
Sandy Walker, artist
Liza Dalby, translator

A poetic short story about the yearning to live and love fully, free from the burden of loss and tragedy.

My Deepest Desire is Tamiki Hara’s final work, published posthumously after his tragic suicide in 1951. A short yet grippingly moving meditation on the desire to live a different, fuller life, free from pain, isolation, and the intrusively haunting experience of tragedy, it is a demonstration of how dreams, memories, and traumatic despair intertwine inside a person’s psyche.
