<br/><br/> "Donald Keene offers a book that is both an introduction to modern Japanese fiction and a memoir of his own lifelong interest in Japanese literature and culture. Five Modern Japanese Novelists offers profiles of prominent writers whom Donald Keene knew personally: Tanizaki Jun'ichiro, Kawabata Yasunari, Mishima Yukio, Abe Kobo, and Shiba Ryotaro. Keene blends vignettes describing encounters with these famous men, autobiographical observations, and insightful, elegant literary and cultural analysis."--BOOK JACKET
