Description
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's early stories showcase his exploration of family dynamics and cultural identity. This collection presents three powerful tales from the first decade of his career, foreshadowing themes he would later develop in his acclaimed novels.
The stories within "Longing and Other Stories" delve into the complexities of mother-son relationships and Japan's traditional culture in the face of Westernization. Tanizaki's unique blend of striking natural imagery and uncanny human encounters creates a sense of unease, as revealed in the haunting tale of a young boy's journey through an eerie nighttime landscape.
Translated by Anthony H. Chambers and Paul McCarthy, this collection brings Tanizaki's important works to an Anglophone audience, offering insight into the author's distinctive vision and literary style.
