  1. I've just finished reading Beauty and Sadness by Yasunari Kawabata. It ended quite abruptly!

    It's the third novel of his that I've read - I'm always struck by the beauty of his paragraphs of cinematic description that interspers the narrative, they do add a sense of seeing the whole thing for me.

  2. Anyhow, hoping today inaugurates a back-to-regular-reading day. Just before break, I had bought a big stack of recent books, esp. #history monographs, that barely got touched before the semester kicked off. Some great #fiction waiting in the wings, including #SamanthaHarvey's *Orbital*!

    (I did start *Snow Country* by #KawabataYasunari around the start of the year but it is *clearly* not where my brain is at, as I made it halfway, stalled, and may very well DNF it. I've read one or two things from him before and remember enjoying them, so this is likely a time-and-place thing on my part, not a critique of the book.)

  3. BEAUTIFUL JAPAN ❤️

    That photo reminds me of Yasunari's Kawabata's book "Snow Country".
    I think I should read it again.

  4. After watching "The Dancing Girl of Izu", based on the book from the maestro Yasunari Kawabata, I want to read his novel now. For sure the book will be greater than the movie!

  8. Done reading "The Cat who Saved the Books" from Sosuke Natsukawa and loved a lot.
    Now is the time to start with one Japanese Classics: "Snow Country" (in Spanish) from Yasunari Kawabata, published in 1948. On the way!

  9. Still in my journey to the and this time with a 's short story: "One Arm". What could I say? Enjoyed such mix of fantasy and realism with disturbing feelings. I loved it.
