Great Stories of Modern Japan From A Woman's Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
These stories by the daughter of famous Japanese author Osamu Dazai are poignant and haunting. They describe experiences of modern day Japanese women - working women, mothers, sisters, aunts, lovers, ex-wives widows - in ways that should explode the vague stereotypes or incomplete images most Americans hold about the Japanese. The writing is direct and yet elegant in its spare prose. Not upbeat, by any means, but many of these stories will stay with you for quite awhile.
