| NOTA |
(*)(Translated by Millicent M. Horton) (★)(1.´The Square Persimmon and Other Stories´is an introduction to one of Japan´s most popular and versatile writer of fiction. In these eleven stories, Takashi Atoda examines universal themes-- first love, lost love, change, fate-- through unmistakably Japanese eyes. The dreamlike quality of some stories invites the reader to draw his own conclusions in the denouement. Yet, in each one, Atoda brings to bear his precise style and his own unique vision, by turns mysterious, romantic, darkly humorous, and even bizarre. 2.Takashi Atoda was born in Tokyo in 1935. He is the author of over forty collections of short stories and has received the Naoki Prize, as well as the award of the Mystery Writers´ Association of Japan.) |
