Behind the Waterfall by Chinatsu Nakayama
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.8 MB
Overview: These are the people and predicaments of this startlingly fresh trio of novellas:
• A child actress, struggling to learn her role while she must comprehend the bewildering motives of the adults around her (“Star Time”)
• A young wife caught in a cruelly refined romantic triangle between her husband and one of his students (“The Sound of Wings”)
• The studio heads, the cast, the crew, and the audience of an afternoon television program which intrudes into the (very) private lives of its viewers, only to then pull back and try to impose its own peculiar morality on them (“Good Afternoon, Ladies”)
Distinct in tone—by turns poignant, comic and amazingly clear-sighted—Behind the Waterfall reveals to us a people and culture in transition, from more traditional ways to a world we recognize as not dissimilar from the one we think of as our own.
