Binding: Paperback
Description: A collection of classic fantastical tales from Northern Japan that are equal parts whimsical and sophisticated perfect for readers of all ages. Kenji Miyazawa is one of modern Japan's most beloved writers a great poet and a strange and marvelous spinner of tales whose sly humorous enchanting and enigmatic stories bear a certain resemblance to those of his contemporary Robert Walser. John Bester's selection and expert translation of Miyazawa's short fiction reflects its full range from the joyful innocent Wildcat and the Acorns to the cautionary tale The Restaurant of Many Orders to The Earthgod and the Fox which starts out whimsically before taking a tragic turn. Miyazawa also had a deep connection to Japanese folklore and an intense love of the natural world. In The Wild Pear what seem to be two slight nature sketches succeed in encapsulating some of the cruelty and compensations of life itself.
