Tengu Child: Stories by Kikuo Itaya
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.8 MB
Overview: This collection makes available—for the first time outside Japan—the work of one of the finest writers Japan has produced, Kikuo Itaya. He seems at first glance to have almost nothing in common with those Japanese writers best known in the West, Kawabata, Mishima, and the like, and indeed, the more closely one looks, the more obvious the differences become: the Japanese writers with whom we’re familiar use plots, characters, and literary strategies much like those Western writers use; Itaya writes like a man from another age, another planet. The appeal of his fiction is obvious enough: like more familiar Japanese writers he has that almost eerie Eastern gift for poetic imagery, the delicate touch of a vase painter, and the serene authority we popularly associate with Zen masters.
