Seller's Description:
Good. Book (1st Perigee) Trade paperback, glossy cream wrappers, ornate border to front edges with illustration of lips, 206 pages, 1.25-inch tear at spine top left edge. Good.
Mr Kawabata's last novel paces leisurely and with a delicacy studied, perhaps, to American bull-in-the-china shop sensibilities; I suspect, though, that this is a Japanese mind speaking through the nuanced veil of language. Every conversation point is mulled over and smoothed for precision.
I suggest scanning the novel on first read-through, then reading again for comprehension and interpretation.
Connotation leads the way to conceptualization. My heart derailed at the conclusion, and I had to plow through pages back to see where I had gone astray. Brain was shunted to extract meaning.
