	Yasunari Kawabata
		The sense of loneliness and preoccupation with death that permeates much of Kawabata's mature writing possibly derives from the loneliness of his childhood (he was orphaned early and lost all near relatives while still in his youth).
		Their influence on Kawabata's novels may be seen in the abrupt transitions between separate brief, lyrical episodes; in imagery that is frequently startling in its mixture of incongruous impressions; and in his juxtaposition of the beautiful and the ugly.
		When Kawabata accepted the Nobel Prize, he said that in his work he tried to beautify death and to seek harmony among man, nature, and emptiness.

		Kawabata's first literary success in 1925 came with the novella, "The Izu Dancer." More poetic than narrative, the novel is meant to be considered for its individual parts rather than as a whole.
		All three are incapable of finding and expressing their love for one another -- here Kawabata posits an alienated world in which a myriad of barriers bar the possibility of fullfillment.
		Kawabata spent 12 years writing "Snow Country." The committee that awarded him the Nobel Prize in 1968 cited this novel in particular, praising Kawabata's "narrative mastery, which with great sensibility expresses the essence of the Japanese mind."

		Although he was the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize, Yasunari Kawabata (1899-1972) remains much more obscure in the West than his high-profile protégé Yukio Mishima.
		For one thing, Kawabata recognized early on the affinity between Japanese poetry--with its abrupt transition from image to image--and the jump-cut flavor of modernist prose.
		For Kawabata's characters, the physical usually leads straight to the metaphysical, which is what prevents him from deteriorating into a soft-core thrill merchant.

		To fully appreciate Kawabatas prose in English, newcomers are well advised to empty their minds of other, mainly western, literary experiences and expectations and open up to a different world.
		Kawabata uses a shorthand style for his descriptions, evoking simultaneously multiple senses, like colour and temperature, stillness and motion, attraction and rejection.
		Perhaps Kawabata wants us to have pity for these mountainfolk who seem entrapped in this type of isolated lifestyle (certainly inferior to that of Tokyo, although it has its own naturalistic charm), but what this book lacks the most of is emotion, or specifically, the evocation of emotion from us as readers.
