Mirror: The Fiction and Essays of Koda AyaUniversity of Hawaii Press, 1999 - 224 страница Murasaki Shikibu, Enchi Fumiko, Tsushima Yoko, Yoshimoto Banana -- some of Japan's most accomplished female writers lived and wrote in the shadow of literary fathers. Koda Aya (1904-1990), the daughter of the eminent man of letters Koda Rohan, did not publish until she was forty-three years old, when she was asked to write an account of her father's life for a literary journal. Without literary ambition or artistic pretension, Koda continued writing, primarily to supplement her raceme. The resulting short stories, novels, and essays, insightfully exploring women's lives, the family, and traditional culture, were welcomed by readers, and her elegant, mature style was lauded by critics. |
