Título : Embracing family Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Nobuo Kojima (1915-2006), Autor ; Yukiko Tanaka, Traductor Editorial: Tokyo : Dalkey Archive Press Fecha de publicación: 2005 Colección: Japanese Literature Series Número de páginas: 161 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-564-78405-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA
[Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESAResumen: Set during the U.S. Occupation following World War II, Embracing Family is a novel of conflict--between Western and Eastern traditions, between a husband and wife, between ideals and reality. At the opening of the book, Miwa Shunsuke and his wife are trapped in a strained marriage, subtly attacking one another in a manner similar to that of the characters in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? When his wife has an affair with an American GI, Miwa is forced to come to terms with the disintegration of their relationship and the fact that his attempts to repair it only exacerbate the situation. An award-winning novel, critics have read this book as a metaphor of postwar Japanese society, in which the traditional moral and philosophical basis of Japanese culture is neglected in favor of Western conventions.

Disponible The word book / Mieko Kanai (2009)
Título : The word book Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Mieko Kanai (1947-), Autor ; Paul McCarthy, Traductor Editorial: Tokyo : Dalkey Archive Press Fecha de publicación: 2009 Número de páginas: 148 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-564-78566-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA
[Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESAResumen: Like the surfaces of a jagged crystal, each story in this collection shows an entirely different facet when viewed from a different angle. Playing games with the basic units of both life and fiction—the solid certainties of the self, the world around us, and the words we use to describe these things to one another—Mieko Kanai creates a reality where nothing is certain, and where a little boy going out to run errands for his mother might find that he’s an adult, and his mother long dead, at the end of a single train ride. Using precise language to describe dreamlike plots owing as much to Kafka and Barthelme as to Kenzaburō Ōe and the long tradition of the Japanese folktale of the macabre, The Word Book is an unforgettable voyage to absurd, hilarious, and terrifying locales, and is the English-language debut for one of the greatest and most interesting Japanese writers working today. The word book [texto impreso] / Mieko Kanai (1947-), Autor ; Paul McCarthy, Traductor . - Tokyo : Dalkey Archive Press, 2009 . - 148 p.

Título : The budding tree : six stories of love in edo Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Aiko Kitahara (1938-2013), Autor ; Ian, transl. McDonald, Traductor Editorial: Tokyo : Dalkey Archive Press Fecha de publicación: 2008 Número de páginas: 170 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-564-78489-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA
[Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESAResumen: This Naoki Prize-winning work is a personal yet precise account of the lives of working women in the Edo period (1600-1868). In the latter half of the Edo period, the warrior caste was finding itself pushed out of the top echelons of society by the rising merchant class, and repeated famines swept the countryside. Against this backdrop, a small number of women vigorously built themselves independent lives with unusual careers--working as designers of ornamental hairpins, or even scribes--in the male-dominated society of the day. The stories in The Budding Tree recount the conditions in which these women lived. The budding tree : six stories of love in edo [texto impreso] / Aiko Kitahara (1938-2013), Autor ; Ian, transl.
