When someone dies alone, my work begins. These essays from a special cleaner about the services lingering around death have attracted much media attention.
As the term “special cleaning” suggests, his workplace is full of unique stories. One man sorted out his trash just before committing suicide. Another man asked about the cost of cleaning out his place before taking his own life. The first chapter features stories from real life that are so unrealistic that they could be taken for fiction. In the second chapter, the author recounts the difficulties and rewards he’s experienced as a special cleaner and tells stories about ghosts. These episodes vividly convey the nature of his job. The book not only provides readers with a proper second-hand experience as if they were there with him, but also makes readers think about how to live and embrace death. Through the work of the special cleaner, we’re given a precious chance to look back on our lives.
