Bedtime eyes / Amy Yamada (1986)

Público ISBD Título : Bedtime eyes Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Amy Yamada (1959-) ; Yumi Gunji, Traductor ; Marc Jardine, Traductor Editorial: New York : St. Martin's Fecha de publicación: 1986 Número de páginas: 218 p Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA Resumen: Amy Yamada is one of the most prominent--and controversial--novelists in Japan today. She burst onto the scene in 1985 with her short novel "Bedtime Eyes," which for critics embodied the spirit of the 'shinjinru'--i.e. Generation X-- in much the same way that Less Than Zero, Bright Lights, Big City, and Douglas Coupland did in the U.S. Bedtime Eyes is the first English-language publication of three of Yamada's novellas/short novels: "Bedtime Eyes," "The Piano Player's Fingers" and "Jesse." While all are centered around the relationship between a Japanese woman and a black American man, each explores love, sex, and the vast gulf between from different and equally revealing viewpoints. Starkly imagined and sharply observed, Bedtime Eyes introduces to the English language some of Yamada's best known and most influential work.

But when she contracts gonorrhoea from her husband, she suffers the ignominy of divorce. Forced to bear the humiliation of being treated by male doctors, she resolves to become a doctor herself in order to treat fellow female sufferers and spare them some of the shame she had to endure. Her struggle is not an easy one: her family disown her, and she has to convince the authorities to take seriously the very idea of a female doctor, and allow her to study alongside male medical students and sit the licensing exam. Based on the real-life story of Ginko Ogino – Japan’s first female doctor – Beyond the Blossoming Fields does full justice to the complexity of her character and her world in a fascinating and inspirational work of fiction.

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.

Floating clouds / Fumiko Hayashi (2006)

Público ISBD Título : Floating clouds Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Fumiko Hayashi (1904-1951) ; Lane Dunlop, Traductor Editorial: New York : Oxford University Press Fecha de publicación: 2006 Número de páginas: 303 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-231-13628-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA Resumen: In this groundbreaking novel, Fumiko Hayashi tells the powerful story of tormented love and one woman's struggle to navigate the cruel realities of postwar Japan. The novel's characters, particularly its resilient heroine Koda Yukiko, find themselves trapped in their own drifting, unable to break out of the morass of indecisiveness. Set in the years during and after World War II, their lives and damaged psyches reflect the confusion of the times in which they live. Floating Clouds follows Yukiko as she moves from the physically lush and beautiful surroundings of Japanese-occupied French Indochina to the desolation and chaos of postwar Japan. Hayashi's spare, affecting novel presents a rare portrait of Japanese colonialism and the harshness of Japan's postwar experience from the perspective of a woman. Its rich cast of characters, drawn from the back alleys of urban Japan and the low rungs of society, offers an unforgettable portrait of Japanese society after the war. The tortured relationship between Yukiko and Tomioka, a minor official with the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, provides the dramatic center of the novel. Yukiko meets Tomioka while working as a typist for the Japanese ministry in Indochina, where they begin their affair. After the war, Tomioka returns to his wife but remains emotionally inscrutable to Yukiko, refusing to break off their relationship. Meanwhile, Yukiko must find her way in a radically changed postwar Japan. When Yukiko and Tomioka's lives once again cross, the two set down a path shaped by their passion and sense of desperation. First published in 1951, Floating Clouds is a classic of modern Japanese literature and was later made into a film by legendary Japanese director Mikio Naruse.

En esa cínica degradación del ideal se esconde una de las claves de esta historia terrible. Las otras pueden hallarse en el ojo ciego de Mitsu; en la decadencia a la que se abandona su esposa tras el nacimiento de su hijo retrasado; en la violencia sorda y constante que atraviesa toda la narración, como un auténtico «grito silencioso». Verdaderamente prodigioso en su capacidad de anudar mito e historia, irritación y ternura, anécdota y parábola, para señalar en un gesto casi desinteresado la profundidad de la locura que se abre bajo las existencias aparentemente «normales», Kenzaburo Oé ha sido comparado por esta novela con Céline y Genet y, por supuesto, con Dostoievski.

When he wakes up, he is in a strange bar and is no longer crippled as he has been for most of his life, but able to walk without crutches in his everyday business suit. Looking around, he sees a number of familiar faces--Izumi, a colleague who had died in a plane crash five years before; his childhood friend Yuzo, who had become a yakuza and had been killed by a rival gang member; and Sasaki, who had frozen to death as a homeless vagrant. This is Hell--a place where three days last as long as 10 years on earth, and people are able to see events in both the future and the past. Yuzo can now see the yakuza that killed him as he harasses a friend of his. The actress Mayumi and the writer Torigai are chased by the paparazzi into an elevator that drops to floor 666 beneath ground level. The vivid depiction of afterlife portrayed in Hell admits the traditional horrors, but subjects them to Tsutsui's unique powers of enchantment--witty, amusing, and praised for its poetic style and the wizard-like light touch of the author's shifting focus.

Thomas, Traductor Editorial: New York : New Direction Book Fecha de publicación: 2005 Número de páginas: 196 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-8112-1633-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA Resumen: Life, death, karma—these interwoven themes form the heart of this lyrical novel in letters, Kinshu: Autumn Brocade, the first work to be published in the U.S. by Teru Miyamoto, one of Japan's most popular literary writers. The word kinshu has many connotations in Japanese—brocade, poetic writing, the brilliance of autumn leaves—and resonates here as a vibrant metaphor for the complex, intimate relationship between Aki and Yasuaki. Ten years after a dramatic divorce, they meet by chance at a mountain resort. Aki initiates a new correspondence, and letter by letter through the seasons, the secrets of the past unfold as they reflect on their present struggles. From a lover's suicide to a father's controlling demands, to Mozart's Thirty-Ninth Symphony ("a veritable marvel of sixteenth notes"), to the karmic consequences of their actions, the story glides through their deeply introspective and stirring exchanges. What begins as a series of accusations and apologies, questions and excuses, turns into a source of mutual support and healing.

Bryson, Traductor Editorial: Richmond : Alma Books Fecha de publicación: 2008 Número de páginas: 350 p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-84688-070-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA Resumen: Set in the midst of samurai warfare in the mountainous region of Aizu in the late 19th century, Okei recounts the coming of age of a young peasant girl Okei, who falls desperately in love with the fierce warrior Sanasuma Kingo, only to learn that the world she inhabits has no place for love. The two live in entirely different worlds, and Okei must learn to understand both the nature of her hidden feelings rising within her and the arcane codes and honor system of the samurai. As the forces of the old Tugokawa order struggle to contain the imperialist army, Okei and her rural community find that exile to the New World may be their only remaining chance of survival.

In the forefront are the geisha: some powerful and spiteful like the imperious Rikiji, some crude and obvious like the gaudy Kikuchiyo, some naive and pathetic like the heroine Komayo, and all engaged in finding a place for themselves in a world that offers no easy route of escape from their profession. Here, too, are the patrons of the geisha: the playboys, the actors, the successful businessmen, and the "upstart gentlemen" of late Meiji society. And here, again, are those who make the machinery of this world function: the geisha house proprietors, the teahouse mistresses, the actors' retainers, the servants. And, finally, here are the parasites of the demimonde, who live off its other denizens through guile and deceit. Through this often sordid but fascinating pageant move the figures of the geisha Komayo, her lovers, and the women who conspire to steal them from her.

Ann Arbor Fecha de publicación: 2006 Colección: Japanese Studies num. 58 Número de páginas: 256 p. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-929280-40-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA Resumen: Freedom is a great thing, but it comes at a cost: this contemporary theme is explored in this novel set in 1950s Tokyo. The story unfolds among the lives of ordinary people, from the former aristocrat to the humble hobo, in the era between defeat under the militarist regime and reconstruction under an Occupation-controlled "democratic" order. A keen observer of both sexes, Shishi's characterizations go beyond their cultural milieu, evoking universal human nature and impulses. This novel is both refreshing and revealing in its dismissal of gender stereotyping, and in its depiction of the people of Tokyo pulling themselves out of the chaos of war.

Emboldened by a night of drinking, he approaches her. She promises to see him the next evening, but when they meet again, he is reluctant to reveal the details of his life. Eventually Shino learns that of the six children in his family, two committed suicide, two disappeared, and one is handicapped. His fear that his blood may be tainted has hounded him, his birthright a constant struggle with his life's very essence. Because of that, he's a survivor, a role he shares with Shino, who had to overcome the shame of her own family's low status. Their determination to find a measure of happiness and solace leads them to begin a new life together. Told in six interlocking sections, Shame in the Blood builds layer upon layer as readers learn the particulars of this haunting couple. Births, deaths, illness, and discovery combine to form a graceful testimony to youthful love and marital commitment.
