| | Kawabata Yasunari |
 | | Kawabata's Beauty and Sadness is the story of an author who had used his experience with a girl he had loved as the subject for a novel and had become famous as a result. | | | And part of the power of the novel lies, I believe, in the fact that the reader, too, sees himself in Shimamura, and does not like what he sees, though there is much to be said for Shimamura's sublimating capacities and the cultivated sensibility they sustain. | | | What could be more natural, we might conclude, than for a young man to fall in love, and, ignoring all else, project an idealized conception of his mistress. |

| | Biography of Yasunari Kawabata |
| | After marriage in 1931 Kawabata settled in the ancient samurai capital of Kamakura, north of Tokyo, spending the winters in Zushi. | | | In this work, as in other late works, Kawabata's approach was open-ended: the tale do not reveal itself fully, more is implied, left to the imagination of the readers, than made explicit. | | | Komako is violently in love with him, and she is not a reflection, created according to Shimamura's aesthetic vision. |

| | In the lyrical prose that is his signature, these 23 tales reflect Kawabata's keen perception, deceptive simplicity, and the deep melancholy that characterizes much of his work. | | | Kawabata selected the stories for this collection himself. | | | More of motive that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature, Yasunari Kawabata tells a story of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan, the snowiest region on earth. |

| | Kawabata brings out his themes through his intense and vivid description, rather than through the use of straight rhetoric. | | | However, the sheer artistry of Yasunari Kawabata’s writing is undeniable, and the book is thoroughly enjoyable on an aesthetic as well as an informative level. | | | Kikuji wants to sever himself from his past, but is still strangely pulled to it: "He was haunted by the fact that he was falling in love with Mrs. |

| | Silberman further argues that Kawabata does not represent a unique Japanese essence, but is concerned with themes of man's alienation and isolation, which he considered a universal truth. | | | Takeda argues that Kawabata had a general interest in Western literature, of which The Bible was considered the apex. | | | First, Tsuruta shows that in many of Kawabata's works he removes his characters from the day to day existence and "mutes" the reality into a controlled setting. |

| | The Great Swifty Speaketh!: Kawabata pwnz j00 |
| | Kawabata is not "big-hearted." He does not "love" his characters in the sense we might be accustomed to. | | | Unlike Mishima, whose motivations were made pretty explicit by his life and work, Kawabata - as in his work - explained nothing. | | | He doesn't overreach for big themes, he doesn't make grand pronouncements about the human condition or the inevitability of war and discrimination; and his prose style (at least in English translation - I've tried reading the original Japanese and it ain't easy) is lucid and free of fancy diction. |

| | The stories were clearly written by a sensitive man who turned inward at a young age, presumably because of the tragedies in his early life. | | | The stories in The Dancing Girl of Izu were all written, or reworked, when Kawabata was in his 20s. | | | The title story, a poetic, autobiographical one about a young man's travels and infatuation with a beautiful, young, itinerant drummer girl, was first published in Japan when Kawabata was 25; it appears here in its first unabridged English translation. |
