"The subject of 'Kokoro,' which can be translated as 'the heart of
things' or as 'feeling,' is the delicate matter of the contrast
between the meanings the various parties of a relationship attach
to it. In the course of this exploration, Soseki brilliantly
describes different levels of friendship, family relationships, and
the devices by which men attempt to escape from their fundamental
loneliness. The novel sustains throughout its length something
approaching poetry, and it is rich in understanding and insight.
The translation, by Edwin McClellan, is extremely good."Â Anthony
West, The New Yorker
