Description
Fourteen distinct voices are assembled in this one-of-a-kind anthology tracing a nation's changing social landscapes. Internationally renowned writers like Yasunari Kawabata, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Junichi Watanabe are joined by three notable women writers whose works have not yet received sufficient attention--Kanoko Okamoto, Fumiko Hayashi and Yumiko Kurahashi.
Highlights of this anthology include:
- - Kafu Nagai's bittersweet portrait of a privileged family's expiring existence in "The Fox"- Ango Sakaguchi's heartening celebration of postwar chaos in "One Woman and the War"- Fumiko Hayashi's unabashed exploration of female sexuality in "Borneo Diamond"- Junichi Watanabe's chilling assessment of alienation and social dislocation in "Invitation to Suicide"- Gishu Nakayama's look at an out-of-place prostitute recovering at a hot-spring resort in "Autumn Wind"
