| Resumen: | A modern classic of literature in Japan, Supermarket is a novel of the human drama surrounding the management of a supermarket chain at a time when the phenomenon of the supermarket, imported postwar from the US, was just taking hold in Japan.
When Kojima, an elite banker resigns his job to help a cousin manage Ishiei, a supermarket in one of Japan’s provincial cities, a host of problems ensue. Store employees are stealing products, the books are in disaray, and the workers seem stuck in old ways of thinking. As Kojima begins to give all his time over to the relentless task of reforming the store’s management, a chance encounter with a woman from his childhood causes him to ask the age-old question: is the all encompassing pursuit of business success really worth it? |

/ Kenzo Kitakata (2006)
TÃtulo : | The cage | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Kenzo Kitakata (1947-), Autor ; Paul Warham, Traductor | Editorial: | New York : Vertical | Fecha de publicación: | 2006 | Número de páginas: | 230 p | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-1-932234-24-4 | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA POLICIAL
| Resumen: | Kazuya Takino leads a quiet life running a supermarket in the Tokyo suburbs. But when an extortionist tries to force him out of business, he finds himself drawn into the yakuza underworld-a world he once called home and thought he had left behind. Pursuing him is Detective Takagi, an aficionado of French cigarettes and modernist poetry, the most decorated inspector on the Tokyo police force. As the shadowy Maruwa gang engages Takino in an escalating cycle of violence and retaliation, Detective Takagi can only stand by and watch as the beast within Takino is lured further and further out of his cage.
A towering masterpiece of the hardboiled genre, The Cage is at once a searing portrayal of the violence of the Japanese underworld and a tender mediation of the ties of love and friend that can save men from madness-or plunge them deeper into it. |
