The term "business novel" is a translation of the Japanese word
kezai shosetsu, which may be translated literally as * 'economy
novel.'' Critic Makoto Sataka first used the word "business" in
place of "economy" in his monograph How to Read Business Novels
(1980).l Business novels are "popular novels" (taishu bungaku)
widely read by Japanese businessmen, their wives, students, and
other professionals.. Business novels were recognized as a *
'field'' or a literary sub-genre in the late 1950s. It was Saburo
Shiroyama's Export (Yushutsu) (1957), if not his Kinjo the
Corporate Bouncer (Sokaiya Kinjo) (1959), which marshalled their
enormous popularity. The seven short works in this collection
represent prototypes of the business novel. Their distinctive
features are that business activities motivate plot developments,
although psycho-socio-cultural elements are tightly interwoven.
