Revival: Stories by Contemporary Japanese Women Writers (1983) (Paperback): Noriko Mizuta Lippit, Kyoko Iriye Selden Revival: Stories by Contemporary Japanese Women Writers (1983) (Paperback)
Noriko Mizuta Lippit, Kyoko Iriye Selden
R1,437 Discovery Miles 14 370 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This title was first published in 1982. The authors deal with the experiences of modern women with penetrating sincerity and honesty, but their philosophic profundity in understanding modern life, their intellectual capacity to view their experience in a historical and social context, and their mastery of the art of fiction render the traditional category of 'female school literature' totally inadequate to characterize their works. Indeed, they stand at the core of modern Japanese literature as a whole.

The Funeral of a Giraffe - Seven Stories (Paperback, New Ed): Kyoko Iriye Selden, Taeko Tomioka, Noriko Mizuta The Funeral of a Giraffe - Seven Stories (Paperback, New Ed)
Kyoko Iriye Selden, Taeko Tomioka, Noriko Mizuta
R1,310 Discovery Miles 13 100 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This is a translation of Dobutsu no sorei, a collection of short stories by award-winning scriptwriter-poet turned fiction writer, Tomioka Taeko. In an objective style reminiscent of Japanese puppet theater, Tomioka deconstructs the discourse of the nuclear family and heterosexuality in gendered Japanese culture. Her stories focus on ordinary people who take life as it comes, living from day to day without the intervention of ego or rationalization, unfettered by introspection or a search for life's ultimate meaning. The stories are disturbing, moving, and compelling.
