About the author

Kaho Nakayama (1960–) headed up a small theater company after college, contributing as scriptwriter and director in addition to acting. She then took a regular office job for a period, but spent much of her time writing, and ultimately resigned. Her literary debut came in 1993 with the novel Nekoze no oji (The Hunchback Prince), whose central character is the lesbian leader of a theater company. Her second novel, the sequel Tenshi no hone (Angel Bones), received the Asahi Award for New Writers in 1995. In 2001, she consolidated her reputation by garnering the Yamamoto Shugoro Prize for her novel of passionate lesbian love, Shiroi bara no fuchi made (To the Depths of White Roses). Her other works include the avowedly autobiographical novels Kanjo kyoiku (Emotional Education, 2000) and Marakeshu shinju (Double Suicide in Marrakesh, 2002), and the story collection Hana garan (Flower Sanctuary, 2002).
