I was just thinking about Eto's books again, and wondering if Ishida has ever heard of a writer named Sadegh Hedayat, who was a tragic figure himself. Not sure if it's just me, but perhaps his most notable work, The Blind Owl (which, by the way has nothing to do with a blind owl; look it up, you might find it interesting), still kind of reminds me of the tragedy of all the TG OWLs (and Eto's writing), not to mention this particular quote from the book: "I thought to myself: If it's true that every person has his own star in the sky, mine must be remote, dark, and meaningless. Perhaps I never had a star." (Interestingly, Hedayat also translated the works of Kafka, who seems to have somewhat inspired the theme of TG).
