A Wanderer's Notebook

放浪記

Also known as Her Lonely Lane, Chronique de mon vagabondage, Hôrô-ki, Hourou-ki, 방랑기

Based on the life and career of novelist Fumiko Hayashi, she bitterly struggles for literary recognition in the first half of the 20th-century – her affairs with feckless men, the jobs she took to survive (peddler, waitress, bar maid), and her arduous, often humiliating attempts to get published in a male-dominated culture.
