End}} Sh}}saku: A Literature of Reconciliation [Hardcover]

End? Sh?saka is probably the most widely translated of all Japanese authors. In this first major study of End?'s works, Mark Williams moves the discussion on from the well-worn depictions of End? as the 'Japanese Graham Greene', and places him in his own political and cultural context.Bringing to light the enduring legacy of a great Japanese author who has contributed to an unmasking of the unsustainability of talk of an 'East-West' divide, this volume will be of interest to Japanese literature students.Introduction; Chapter 1 Towards Reconciliation; Chapter 2 White Man, Yellow Man; Chapter 3 The Sea and Poison, Wonderful Fool, the Girl I Left Behind; Chapter 4 Silence; Chapter 5 The Samurai; Chapter 6 Scandal; Chapter 7 Deep River;Mark B.Williams is Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies at the University of Leeds.US? 1999 Mark B.Williams
