Still Lives by Natsuki Ikezawa, Dennis Keene (translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.6mb
Overview: Ikezawa has been described as one of the best short story writers in the world today. When he won his country’s highest literary award ten years ago, readers hailed the arrival of a new voice in Japanese fiction: clear, unerring, and resonant. As the title itself suggests, all four of the stories in this collection are in some way about people moving away from ordinary life, seeing things from a distance, as though looking at their world through the window of a spaceship moving into orbit.
Here, and we hope in other collections to come, readers will encounter a rare writer whose work attains the highest level of imagination, yet remains always anchored in a reassuring normality. Welcome to “a brave new lyrical world.”
