Five Modern Japanese Novelists is a short introduction to five 20th century Japanese authors whom the author befriended during his years in Japan: Junichiro Tanizaki, Yasunari Kawabata (the first winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature from Japan), Yukio Mishima, Kobo Abe and Ryutaro Shiba. Keene provides brief biographies, interesting personal recollections, and short analyses of their major works. This would be a good book for someone who is unfamiliar with these authors, but those seeking in depth analyses of their works should seek out other scholarly works by Keene, who has translated several books by Japanese authors into English, written over two dozen books on Japanese literature and culture, and taught Japanese literature for over 50 years at Columbia University. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A superb introduction to modern Japanese fiction as well as a memoir of his own love affair with Japanese literature and culture, this volume consists of chapters on five modern Japanese novelists whom Donald Keene knew personally: Yasunari Kawabata, Yukio Mishima, Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, Ryotaro Shiba, and Kobo Abe. Each chapter opens with a vignette describing Keene's personal encounters with these famous men, blending his autobiographical observations with literary and cultural analysis.

I was curious about what Keene would have to say about the Mishima Incident - he takes the line that Mishima's activism had little to do with real right-wing politics but was driven by an aesthetic infatuation with the beauty of sacrifice and early death. ( )
