Yasunari Kawabata has 3 past events. (show) 夏の文学教室「近代と現代の間-昭和の文学から」第1日 Event location: 有楽町よみうりホール (東京都千代田区有楽町1-11-1読売会館) 富岡幸一郎×川崎賢子 「川端康成から、文学の未来を語る夜」 『川端康成、魔界の文学』（岩波書店）刊行記念 B&B, Thursday, July 17, 2014 at 8pm Oakland - The Seated Diesels discuss "Thousand Cranes" by Yasunari Kawabata Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes The Seated Diesels back to the store to discuss Thousand cranes by Yasunari Kawabata on Tuesday, September 25th at 7pm. With a restraint that barely conceals the ferocity of his characters' passions, one of Japan's great postwar novelists tells a luminous story of desire, regret, and the almost sensual nostalgia that binds the living to the dead. "A novel of exquisite artistry... and a story that is human, vivid, and moving" - New York Herald Tribune.
Yasunari Kawabata, winner of the 1968 Nobel Prize for Literature, was one of Japan's most distinguished novelists. Among his major novels published in the US are Snow Country (1956) and The Master of Go (1972). He committed suicide in 1972.
This event is free and all are welcome and encouraged to attend!

After an experimental period from the mid- to late-1920s, Kawabata relocated to Kanagawa in 1934 and, in conjunction with his work as a reporter for Mainichi Shimbun, began to write his celebrated poetic novels. As one of the leading writers of postwar Japan, Kawabata continued to write as he founded new literary journals, promoted the translation of Japanese works into English, and mentored new writers, such as Yukio Mishima. In 1968, he became the first Japanese and East Asian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Yasunari Kawabata died in 1972.  | |
