Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. Tokyo. 1990. Kodansha. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket . 0870119400. Translated from the Japanese by Dennis Keene. 234 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Translated Japan Asia . FROM THE PUBLISHER - A middle-aged businessman reliving a murderous punch-up that happened in his youth; a chatterbox bar girl cheerfully describing her involvement in a customer's fantasy life; a novelist puzzling over an obsession with tree shadows; and a scholar dabbling irresponsibly in the biography of a famous modern poet. This is the rich and varied world into which you are invited, a world of only half-solved puzzles for its inhabitants: the scholar, for example, discovers a tragedy in his own past in place of the impersonal facts he sought; the novelist, in his search for the origins of his strange preoccupation, encounters a woman who improbably claims to be his mother. It is a world of brilliant surfaces: satirical, at times to the point of parody; incisive, at times to the point of cruelty. A world also of sudden depths, the mind at last confronting truths it prefers not to acknowledge. These two short stories and two novellas ( Tree Shadows' was awarded the 1988 Kawabata Prize) make up the second volume of Maruya's fiction to appear in English. His novel was acclaimed internationally as a superb piece of urban fiction.' This new collection should serve both to confirm his reputation and to give readers a better idea of the scope of his writing. inventory #14184. Seller Inventory # z14184
