Description
This book offers an overview of 20th-century Japanese narrative through the works of Mori Ōgai, Natsume Sōseki, Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, Yasunari Kawabata, Yukio Mishima, Kenzaburo Ōe, Haruki Murakami, Fumiko Hayashi, and Minae Mizumura . It explores the evolution and transformation of Japanese literature during the 20th century, a period in which modernization also entailed Westernization. Furthermore, it traces the lines of influence among major authors, the relationships of debt and rebellion, and the moments of bold innovation that outline a certain "path" in the development of 20th-century Japanese literature.
