About the author
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
594 books2,177 followersJun'ichirō Tanizaki (谷崎 潤一郎) was a Japanese author, and one of the major writers of modern Japanese literature, perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Sōseki.
Some of his works present a rather shocking world of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions; others, less sensational, subtly portray the dynamics of family life in the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society.
Frequently his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which constructions of "the West" and "Japanese tradition" are juxtaposed. The results are complex, ironic, demure, and provocative.

Daqueles livros que só podia ser japonês. Há um casal já de meia idade (ele bem mais velho que ela) com uma filha casadoira e um seu eventual pretendente. As relações entre os 4 vão ser tudo menos óbvias, antes bem dissimuladas. O diálogo faz-se através do diário do casal, e é da alternância de vozes entre a do marido e a da mulher que se compõe o livro que vamos lendo. Muito diferente e original.
