Sociology of the Fragmented

This is "Sociology of Fragmented Things" (2015) by sociologist and author Kishi Masahiko.

A street guitar player, a night job, a former yakuza... Listening to people's stories means entering into a life. This is an essay about "uninterpretable events" that a sociologist has actually encountered.

I picked up this book by chance when I first became interested in sociology. Rather than being a so-called academic essay, it is more fragmented and relaxed, and is an essay that makes you think that this is also part of society. The plain words are just right and make you feel at ease, so I recommend it even when you are feeling exhausted. (Ammel)
