Shusaku Endo is celebrated as one of Japan's great modern
novelists, often described as "Japan's Graham Greene," and Silence
is considered by many Japanese and Western literary critics to be
his masterpiece. Approaching Silence is both a celebration of this
award-winning novel as well as a significant contribution to the
growing body of work on literature and religion. It features
eminent scholars writing from Christian, Buddhist, literary, and
historical perspectives, taking up, for example, the uneasy
alliance between faith and doubt; the complexities of discipleship
and martyrdom; the face of Christ; and, the bodhisattva ideal as
well as the nature of suffering. It also frames Silence through a
wider lens, comparing it to Endo's other works as well as to the
fiction of other authors. Approaching Silence promises to deepen
academic appreciation for Endo, within and beyond the West.
Includes an Afterword by Martin Scorsese on adapting Silence for
the screen as well as the full text of Steven Dietz's play
adaptation of Endo's novel.
