Product Description
12mo. 199pp. First Windhover Edition. Translated by Howard Hibbett. This little novel, though economical in size and language, is a monument to the Japanese ideal of "less is more". Much like a composer of music, attentive to each note and the silence in between, Kawabata's prose is highly musical and amazingly crafted. His eloquent, often delightful truths seem to bring the reader's attention to the essence of life, nature, and human nature. Beauty in the purest sense of the word.Kawabata won the Nobel prize for his literature. Mass Market Paperback.
