Love and Other Stories by Yokomitsu Riichi, Dennis Keene (translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.5mb
Overview: A genuinely talented writer, Yokomitsu Riichi (1898-1947) wished to transform life into a fictional work of art. Although his prose has been much neglected, it is Japanese modernism of the 1920s, and the importance of his early literature, of which the bulk of this selection consists, is that it is perhaps the one serious attempt in Japanese to write modernist literary prose. Most published in English for the first time, the eleven stories presented here include “The Child Who Was Laughed At,” “Spring Riding in a Carriage,” “Ideas of a Flower Garden,” “The Machine,” “The Carriage,” and “Smile.” This collection of Yokomitsu’s stories is a must for anyone interested in Japanese literature.
