- Summary:
- One of the most influential figures in modern Japanese fiction, Yasunari Kawabata is treasured for the intensity of his perceptions and the compressed elegance of his style. Written between 1923 and 1929, these works form a shadow biography of the author's early years, revealing fresh glimpses into Kawabata's haunting vision of loss, longing, and memory. In moving selections that sketch the outlines of the author's life of survivorship. J. Martin Holman's graceful translation captures the delicate nature of Kawabata's enduring prose.
