But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.

  • You can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy. But you can't be both.

著者について

『扉をたたく人』の著者について

For One More Day』(邦題:もう一度会えたら)のベストセラー作家であるミッチェル・デイヴィッド・アルボムは、愛、喪失、そして救済を感情豊かに探求する作家として高く評価されています。インスピレーションを与えるフィクションの名手であるアルボムは、自身の社会学の背景や、ブランダイス大学の教授モリー・シュワルツとの永続的な師弟関係から着想を得ています。その関係は、記録的なベストセラーとなった回想録『Tuesdays with Morrie』(邦題:モリー先生との火曜日)に刻まれており、人生の深い問いと親しみやすい知恵を織り交ぜた物語を紡ぎ出しています。

文学界のアイコンとなる前、アルボムは『Detroit Free Press』紙のスポーツジャーナリストとして喝采を浴び、全米スポーツメディア協会およびミシガン州スポーツの殿堂入りを果たしました。デトロイトを拠点とする慈善団体の設立やハイチの孤児院の運営など、彼の慈善活動は人間同士のつながりへの献身を裏付けており、それは『For One More Day』における家族と「二度目のチャンス」の考察の中心的なテーマとなっています。

The Five People You Meet in Heaven』(邦題:天国の五人)や『The Stranger in the Lifeboat』を含むアルボムの著作は、47言語で累計4,000万部以上を売り上げています。『For One More Day』は、心のこもったストーリーテリングと普遍的な真理を融合させる彼のレガシーを継承し、現代文学における希望の声としての名声を確固たるものにしています。
