My Deepest Desire is Tamiki Hara's final work, published posthumously after his tragic suicide in 1951. A short yet grippingly moving meditation on the desire to live a different, fuller life, free from pain, isolation, and the intrusively haunting experience of tragedy, it is a demonstration of how dreams, memories, and traumatic despair intertwine inside a person's psyche.
