Thanks for the nomination Louis K. Wireko :)

I’m currently reading Some Prefer Nettles by Tanizaki’s Jun'ichirō. The novel follows Kaname, a man caught up in an unhappy marriage and how he drifts between the appeal of Western influences (pro- divorce) and the weight of old Japanese traditions (anti- divorce).

What I like about this book is how it highlights the quiet moments of indecision. Kaname’s hesitation in getting a divorce mirrors the way we sometimes linger in relationships or phases of life long after the passion we have for them has faded. He is not a man of grand gestures, but of uncertainty. Someone who prefers to wait (almost passively) for change to arrive. And yet, in waiting, there is a kind of truth: that many people live with the pressure of either upholding the duties that are expected of them or following the desires that they might be uncertain of but still want.  

I’d like to nominate Papa Yaw Awuku Bekoe opesika Kwaku Osafo Habada
