Description:

The programmer who lost the rights to the smash-hit game "Puyo Puyo"; the 300-win pitcher whose protégé, Nomo, defected to the Major Leagues; the university runner who collapsed just steps from the finish line during the Hakone Ekiden; the researcher duped by the "Divine Hand" hoax in stone tool archaeology--such are the figures featured here. Life is invariably accompanied by the unexpected, but for those struck by misfortunes and failures dramatic enough to make national headlines, what thoughts occupied their minds while they were in the eye of the storm? And how have they managed to navigate the long lives that continued in the aftermath? This volume presents the long-awaited book adaptation of a popular serialized column, chronicling the untold trajectories and compelling human dramas of these individuals.
