Extending beyond the Western definition of "novelist" to include authors of works in the autobiographical "I-Novel" tradition and some of the most eminent practitioners of short fiction, this excellent author-by-author survey of Japanese fiction from 1885 to the present, with individual entries on 57 writers, was created especially with the reader of translations in mind. Appended to each essay is a complete and up-to-date list of English translations and critical studies. Includes a photograph of each author. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
