About the book
How Do You Live? follows Koperu, a fifteen-year-old junior high student nicknamed after the astronomer Copernicus. Athletic, bright and well liked, he lives with his mother, his father having died when he was young. His maternal uncle, who lives close by, is his confidant. The narration alternates between Koperu's own account of school life and the uncle's account of guiding him through bullying and other troubles. The uncle also keeps a diary of notes addressed to the boy, reflecting on how to view things and how society is structured.
