In the meantime, here's info for the two books:

A Quiet Place

Thanks for those. I'm going to Japan in a couple of weeks, and all of the Japanese-related books I was considering seemed too heavy (Haruki Murikami's
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle), too dark (a re-read of Natsuo Kirino's excellent
Out) or will likely make me angry at the country I'm visiting (Min Jin Lee's
Pachinko).
These Seicho Matsumoto books look promising.
