Yasunari Kawabata (Osaka, 1899-Zushi, 1972). Escribió más de doce mil páginas de novelas, cuentos y artículos, y es uno de los escritores japoneses más populares dentro y fuera de su país. Recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1968. Entre sus obras, muchas de ellas marcadas por la soledad y el erotismo, destacan 'La bailarina de Izu', 'El maestro de Go', 'Lo bello y lo triste', 'Mil grullas', 'País de nieve', 'El rumor de la montaña' o 'Historias de la palma de la mano'. 'La casa de las bellas durmientes' se publicó en  1961 y se tradujo al español por primera vez en 1978. 

'Animales difíciles' de Rosa Montero (Seix Barral) es la última entrega  de la serie del personaje Bruna Husky que nos lleva al año 2111. Un futuro aparentemente lejano pero en el que encontraremos algunos paralelismos con el mundo de hoy, es una novela espejo retrovisor de nuestro tiempo que cierra y se une a las otras tres anteriores `'Lágrimas en la lluvia' , 'El peso del corazón' y  'Los tiempos del odio'.  Rosa Montero, además de donarnos su serie, también nos dejó dos libros estupendos: 'Los desposeídos'  de Úrsula K. Leguin (Minotauro)  'Espejo roto' de Mercé Rodoreda (Austral). Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo libros de papas y de guerra cultural: 'El manuscrito de sangre' de Luis García Jambrina (Espasa), 'Las sandalias del pescador' de Morris West (B de Bolsillo) y 'El duelo interminable: la batalla cultural del siglo XX' de José Enrique Ruiz Domenec (Taurus). También registró el libro que nos contará en su programa "Un libro, una hora",  'La casa de las bellas durmientes" de Yasunari Kawabata (Emecé) . El empleado Pepe Rubio nos trajo como novedades de la semana 'Vallesordo' de Jonathan Arribas (Libros del Asteroide) y  'El jardín del diablo' de Iván Repila (Seix Barral) . Pascual Donate encontró abandonado por la redacción de la SER y nos recomendó 'Etimologías para sobrevivir al caos' , un viaje al origen de 99 palabras. Escrito por Andrea Marcolongo y editado por (Taurus) . Y por último los oyentes nos donaron 'Mi planta de naranja lima' de José Mauro de Vasconcelos (Libros del Asteroide) , 'El año del pesamiento mágico' de Joan Didion (Random House) y 'Viaje al fin de la noche' de Louie-Ferdinand Celine (Edhasa)

W szesnastym odcinku Bełkotu literackiego chcemy was zabrać do Japonii. W rolę przewodnika po kraju, który dał nam Dragon Balla, Godzillę, karate i kwadratowe arbuzy (tak, takowe uprawia się w Kraju Kwitnącej Wiśni), wciela się Yasunari Kawabata, poeta i prozaik, pierwszy japoński laureat Nobla w dziedzinie literatury (było to w roku 1968). O książce „Tancerka z Izu. Opowiadania” rozmawiają Kasia Janusik (Wrocławski Dom Literatury), Jana Karpienko (Fundacja Olgi Tokarczuk) i Agata Sibilak (Następna Strona). Książka ukazała się w Polsce z końcem 2023 za sprawą Wydawnictwa Czytelnik, raptem 97 lat od premiery japońskiej… Za przekład odpowiadają Mikołaj Melanowicz i Anna Zielińska-Elliott. Czy warto było czekać niemal cały wiek, by w końcu móc przeczytać w języku polskim młodzieńcze opowiadania Kawabaty? Czy aby na pewno literackie zachwyty nad nastoletnimi dziewczętami wytrzymały próbę czasu? U nas zdania są podzielone. Posłuchajcie!

Most photographers, including myself, only think to print on photographic paper or other traditional mediums; however, countless other mediums and formats for printing can ultimately elevate the presentation of your work. This is known as alternative printmaking and is one way in which photographers can embrace and leverage the physical attributes that prints can possess to stand out or just have fun. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Eileen Rafferty, is known as one of the leaders in the alternative printmaking world and has carved out a very cool niche for herself by teaching other photographers all about it. She's also an industry leader in creativity and has many thoughts about how photographers can get more in touch with their creative side. On this week's episode, we discuss: Eileen's journey as a photographer and artist. Getting more in touch with the creative process. Elevating your photography by focusing on ideas and the process of making images. Paths to get out of creative ruts. Alternative printmaking, including transfer prints and printing on alternative surfaces. And a lot more! On Patreon this week, Eileen and I recorded a fun bonus episode all about abstract photography. Join in on the conversations about each episode by joining for free.

A team at Tokyo University is developing robotic arms that people can wear. The devices could find use in areas from creative expression to search and rescue operations. Masahiko Inami is a professor who develops systems to expand human abilities. Inami's team at the University of Tokyo is designing the wearable robotic arms. The team is developing a series of technologies rooted in the idea of “jizai.” It is a Japanese idea that he says roughly means the autonomy and the freedom to do as one wants.东京大学的一个团队正在开发人们可以佩戴的机械臂。 这些设备可用于从创意表达到搜索和救援行动等领域。Masahiko Inami 是一位教授，致力于开发扩展人类能力的系统。 东京大学 Inami 的团队正在设计可穿戴机械臂。该团队正在开发一系列植根于“jizai”理念的技术。 他说，这是一种日本观念，大致意味着自治和随心所欲的自由。The aim is to create something like the relationship between a musician and an instrument. Inami said, “Lying somewhere between a human and a tool, like how a musical instrument can become as if a part of your body.” Inami says the idea came to him when he thought of traditional Japanese puppetry and a short story by Yasunari Kawabata. The story is about a young man who borrows a young woman's right arm.目的是在音乐家和乐器之间建立类似的关系。 伊波说：“介于人类和工具之间，就像乐器可以成为你身体的一部分一样。”稻波说，当他想到传统的日本木偶和川端康成的短篇小说时，他就产生了这个想法。 这个故事讲述了一个年轻男子借用了一位年轻女子的右臂的故事。Inami said the robotic device is “not a rival to human beings, but rather something that helps us do as we please.” He added that it was “like a bicycle or e-bike. It supports us and can unlock creativity." A video called JIZAI ARMS shows two dancers performing with the robotic arms on their backs. The humans and machines move together in the performance. The dancers come together and move in similar ways either leading or following the robot arms. Inami said some wearers grow attached to the arms after some time. "Taking them off after using them for a while feels a little sad. That's where they're a little different to other tools," he said.Inami 表示，机器人设备“不是人类的竞争对手，而是帮助我们做我们想做的事情。” 他补充说，它“就像自行车或电动自行车。 它支持我们并可以释放创造力。”一段名为“JIZAI ARMS”的视频显示，两名舞者背着机械臂表演。 人类和机器在表演中一起移动。 舞者聚集在一起，以类似的方式移动，或者引导或跟随机器人手臂。伊波说，一段时间后，一些佩戴者就会对手臂产生依恋。 “使用一段时间后把它们取下来感觉有点难过。这就是它们与其他工具有点不同的地方，”他说。But Inami added that the possibilities for the robot arms go beyond turning a short story into real life. He said such machines could help in search and rescue operations. He wondered if similar devices could be used to fly or perform sports in the future. "In the future we might see wings growing out of people's backs, or drones attached to people...Maybe someone will come up with a sport that requires six arms or invent a new type of swimming," Inami said.但伊波补充说，机器人手臂的可能性不仅仅是将短篇故事变成现实生活。 他说这种机器可以帮助搜救行动。他想知道未来是否可以使用类似的设备来飞行或进行运动。“未来，我们可能会看到翅膀从人们的背上长出来，或者无人机附着在人们身上……也许有人会想出一项需要六只手臂的运动，或者发明一种新型的游泳，”伊波说。

Indian politics has always been a beast I've been afraid of broaching both on the show and in my personal conversations. There are countless nuances that are often difficult for listeners outside the country—including myself—to understand. And the debate is so fluid and rampant that it's easy for opinions to be misconstrued and cast-aside. A conversation about Indian Politics cannot simply be restricted to that, instead the far-reaching issues extend into culture, art, and many other aspects of daily life and require a somewhat holistic view. In the same way that the writer Gore Vidal believed that his criticism of the United States was sharper when he was observing from abroad, I think the best perspectives of the political scene in India contain simultaneous analysis from the ground and from afar. There is no better guest to have this conversation with than journalist Samanth Subramanian.  His work has appeared in several publications including The New Yorker, The Guardian, and New York Times Magazine. He is also Global News Editor at Quartz. Samanth wrote a piece in October in The New Yorker titled “When The Hindu Right Came for Bollywood.” This study of a cultural conflict in India highlights some key agitating issues entrenched in today's political system. We use that piece as a starting point and move on to discuss some of the concerning trends emerging from the current regime. Samanth grew up in India and worked there for many years; but is now based in London. This gives his coverage the unique duality that I think enhances his discerning analysis of his home-country. But Samanth's beat doesn't just cover politics. A quick look at his output leads to pieces about finance, cricket, travel,  so on and so forth. The magazine pieces that he writes are deep dives into intriguing human stories in places we'd not think to look. So our conversation today reflects this, and as we move from India to several other stories, he paints a portrait of a rigorous journalism that is required to tell authentic stories in today's world.  A few notes: There are two specific pieces that we mention that could benefit from some prefacing. one titled “How Hindu supremacists are tearing India apart” which was published in The Guardian, focuses on protests and riots that took place at universities in Delhi. An another piece in New York Times Magazine titled “Two Wealthy Sri Lankan Brothers Became Suicide Bombers. But Why?” requires little inference, but essentially focuses on Samanth's survey of a community from which two brothers became radicalized terrorists.

Shimamura é um bon vivant de Tóquio que vai a uma hospedaria de águas termais nas montanhas, cenário de um triângulo amoroso pouco concreto, daquelas relações para bons entendedores. Komako, uma gueixa, e Yoko, uma jovem que vive no povoado, completam o trio. Shimamura vive fechado em um universo individual com espaço para mais ninguém inteiro, o que sabemos sobre ele são fragmentos da impressão que ele faz do mundo e das pessoas. A capacidade de observar, ressaltar detalhes, enxergar a beleza não tornam o protagonista comovido ou comovente; aliás, ele é mais gélido do que o pico das montanhas que o rodeiam. Vez ou outra, parece inerte. O País das Neves, de Yasunari Kawabata, é tema do sexto episódio do Põe na Estante, no qual a jornalista Gabriela Mayer, apresentadora do podcast, recebe como convidados os escritores Mariana Brecht e Jacques Fux.Este é um podcast produzido por Rádio Guarda-chuva.Produção, roteiro, edição e apresentação: Gabriela MayerMixagem de som: João Victor CouraCapa: Arthur MayerArtes para o Instagram: Júlia MacielTrilha: Getz me to Brazil, Doug MaxwellIG: @poenaestante Twitter: @poenaestanteE-mail: poenaestante@gmail.com==Apoie o @poenaestante em catarse.me/poenaestante

Vamos a irnos a Japón, el país de Yasunari Kawabata. Este autor recibió el premio Nobel de Literatura en 1968 "por su dominio narrativo, que expresa con gran sensibilidad la esencia de la mente japonesa". En el cuento Rostros, Kawabata nos invita a pensar en el valor y el significado de una cara: sus parecidos, sus diferencias, la distancia que imponen los rastros de un desconocido. ¿Qué puede pasar con un padre que no se ve a sí mismo en la expresión de su hija? ¿Puede una madre tomar distancia de su descendencia porque no se encuentra en ella? Con dulzura y sutileza, el escritor japonés nos abre la puerta de la reflexión en pocas líneas. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 📚 Qué es POR QUÉ LEER Por qué leer es un proyecto multiplataforma que promueve el placer por la lectura.

O quinto episódio de Aforismos Espaciais viaja até ao Japão pelas palavras de Yasunari Kawabata em Chá e Amor, publicado naquele país em 1949 e traduzido, para Português, por Pedro Alvim, numa edição de 1996 da Círculo de Leitores. Tendo a casa de Kikuji - incluindo o jardim e o pavilhão de chá - como pano de fundo deste episódio, pensamos sobre a coexistência do homem e da natureza como expressão de uma intimidade primária, que se expressa, igualmente, na arquitectura tradicional japonesa. Leitura do excerto de Chá e Amor: Ricardo Vaz TrindadeCréditos:Imagens: 01.

Enquanto o aforismo filosófico procura expressar uma verdade, o aforismo literário é caracterizado pela sua expressividade.

L'écrivaine Marie Darrieussecq raconte dans un livre à la frontière de l'essai et de l'autobiographie, son voyage vers le sommeil, et la souffrance, parfois créatrice, de l'insomnie.  Le nouveau livre de Marie Darrieussecq est singulier. Elle publie un livre qui étonne, car il est inclassable. Il tient à la fois de l'autobiographie et de l'encyclopédie, du récit de voyage et de l'essai littéraire. Il est ponctué de photos –personnelles voire intimes- et d'illustrations plus distanciées. On y croise Marguerite Duras et Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust et Yasunari Kawabata, Georges Perec et Nicolas Fargues, mais aussi Winston Churchill, Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton et Marcia Cross, comme autant de lumières au milieu de la nuit. On compatit souvent, on en rit aussi plus qu'à son tour, et on ne le lit sans doute pas de la même façon selon que l'on souffre, ou que l'on a déjà souffert du mal dont parle cet OVNI de librairie : l'insomnie. Le titre tient en deux mots : « Pas dormir », de Marie Darrieussecq est publié aux éditions POL. Reportage : la 193 Gallery à Paris propose une immersion dans un univers d'étoffes colorées. L'artiste Alia Ali en fait usage dans son travail photographique : d'énigmatiques portraits qui interrogent aussi la fonction du langage. Notre reporter Fanny Bleichner en a pris plein les yeux. 

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! One of Japan's most respected authors, Yasunari Kawabata, up for discussion today. Let's look at The Izu Dancer (sometimes called the Dancing Girl of Izu) and talk about some themes of maturity and innocence, cleansing, and a bit about class divide which was easy for us to miss. Our copy came from The Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories and was translated by Edward Seidensticker.

This is an expanded version of the interview that was on "Main Street". "The Downstairs Tenant" has three sections -- first, a set of "Prairie Gothic" stories, set mostly in rural North Dakota. They are dark, often tragic. The second section is made up of adaptations of some of Yasunari Kawabata's "Palm of the Hand" stories -- short, short ones that are poetic and occasionally surreal. Finally there is a play -- a straight up North Dakota ghost story. More on Jamie at Jamie Parsley is an accomplished and award-winning poet and Episcopal priest. He is the author of twelve books of poems, one book of short fiction (the one covered here) and, since 2004, has been an Associate Poet Laureate of North Dakota.

Salve e benvenuti nel Molo di Arcadia. ⛵In questo primo episodio vi parliamo del romanzo "La Casa delle Belle Addormentate" dello scrittore giapponese premio Nobel per la letteratura 1968 Yasunari Kawabata.

En el programa de hoy, hablaremos de la novela Lo bello y lo Triste, del escritor japonés Yasunari Kawabata.

This week I discuss "Snow Country" by Japan's first Nobel Laureate for Literature, Yasunari Kawabata. In this episode I discuss the challenges of love, jealousy and neglect, abuses of power, and also how we can all benefit from loving well and appreciating our loved ones.

This week we're reading the second half of Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. Shimamura, Kamako, and to a lesser extent Yoko reveal themselves as people in this second section. The tragic love of Kamako for Shimamura is heightened by Kamako's erratic and desperate behavior - her frequent drunken visits, her scolding of Shimamura's broken promises, her oscillation between rejecting Shimamura and seeking his approval. Shimamura remains aloof, but leaks out a degree of emotional vulnerability in his compliments of her and awe struck reaction to the Milky Way at the end of the novel. Yoko remains an angelic and elusive figure, from Shimamura's first sighting on the train to her final demise by fire - the embodiment of fleeting and decaying youth. Next week we're reading The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima You can call and leave voicemails on our Book Nerds Hotline and we'll play them on the show: 1-978-255-3404 Follow us on Instagram @literalfictionbookclub

Description: This week we're reading the first half of Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. It is the story of a well to-do traveler named Shimamura who heads into the mountains as a relief from the busy world of Tokyo - this is known as Snow country, where in the winter seasons the snowfall can accumulate to up to fifteen feet. During his stay at the inn in a mountain village he is introduced to the young, fickle geisha Komako, an intriguing and erratic personality. Both her and Shimamura oscillate between attraction and repulsion in this somber tale of the impossible love between a mountain geisha and a city dweller. We leave off this first section with Shimamura leaving for Tokyo, not sure if what he experienced was real and Kamako heading back to attend to a sick friend. Yasunari Kawabata was the son of a well established family in Osaka. After establishing himself as a respected writer in Japan, he founded the New Writing movement as an intervention between the Naturalist writers of the establishment and the proletarian writers of the Socialist and Communist movements. The New Writing movement's guiding principle was “art for art's sake.” Kawabata is one of Japan's most celebrated authors and is internationally recognized being the first Japanese author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968. In addition to Snow Country, he has been the author of several other novels such as “Thousand Cranes”, “The Sound of the Mountain”, and “The Old Capital”. His style is marked by a sense of mystery and minimalism, and a common subject of his work, including Snow Country, is the idea of ill-fated love. Kawabata died in 1972 which was officially concluded to be a sucide by gassing, although there is some doubt whether it was accidental. Kawabata was friends with the famous Japaense novelist Yukia Mishima, and it is recounted by Kawabata's biographer Takeo Okuno, that after Mishima's suicide Kawabata was plagued by nightmares about his deceased friend.

Dans le cadre du festival IFM 2020 (thème : le visage), voici un florilège de textes littéraires sur le visage, choisis et lus par Félix Libris (Les Livreurs) et Gérard Cherqui. Parmi ces textes (liste détaillée ci-dessous), voici notamment un extrait de Ethique et infini (Emmanuel Lévinas, 1982) : « Je pense plutôt que l'accès au visage est d'emblée éthique. C'est lorsque vous voyez un nez, des yeux, un front, un menton, et que vous pouvez les décrire, que vous vous tournez vers autrui comme vers un objet. La meilleure manière de rencontrer autrui, c'est de ne pas même remarquer la couleur de ses yeux. Quand on observe la couleur des yeux, on n'est pas en relation sociale avec autrui. La relation avec le visage peut certes être dominée par la perception, mais ce qui est spécifiquement visage, c'est ce qui ne s'y réduit pas. Il y a d'abord la droiture même du visage, son expression droite, sans défense. La peau du visage est celle qui reste la plus nue, la plus dénuée. La plus nue, bien que d'une nudité décente. La plus dénuée aussi: il y a dans le visage une pauvreté essentielle. La preuve en est qu'on essaie de masquer cette pauvreté en se donnant des poses, une contenance. Le visage est exposé, menacé, comme nous invitant à un acte de violence. En même temps le visage est ce qui nous interdit de tuer ». « Le visage est signification, et signification sans contexte. Je veux dire qu'autrui, dans la rectitude de son visage, n'est pas un personnage dans un contexte. D'ordinaire, on est un « personnage » : on st professeur à la Sorbonne, vice-président du conseil d'État, fils d'untel, tout ce qui est dans le passeport, la manière de se vêtir, de se présenter. Et toute signification, au sens habituel du terme, est relative à un tel contexte: le sens de quelque chose tient dans sa relation à autre chose. Ici, au contraire, le visage est sens à lui seul. Toi, c'est toi. En ce sens, on peut dire que le visage n'est pas « vu ». Il est ce qui ne peut devenir un contenu, que votre pensée embrasserait ; il est l'incontenable, il vous mène au-delà. C'est en cela que la signification du visage le fait sortir de l'être en tant que corrélatif d'un savoir. Au contraire, la vision est recherche d'une adéquation ; elle est ce qui par excellence absorbe l'être. Mais la relation au visage est d'emblée éthique.

Amanda and Jenn discuss book club picks, retellings, books about books, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by OwlCrate and Book Riot Insiders.   Questions 1. Hi Amanda and Jen! I am looking for book recommendations about espionage, secret agencies/organizations and heists, but prefer ones that are lighter and not too dark. Because of this I tend to read more YA books (Map of Fates by Maggie Hall, for instance), but would love to read more adult fiction. I also like Sherlock Holmes adaptations such as the Jackaby series by William Ritter, Stoker & Holmes series by Colleen Gleason and A Study In Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro. Thanks for your help!! --Tracy   2. Hey Girls, I am a high school English teacher, and my classes do a lot of independent reading. Each month, students choose a book in a specific category. We are coming up on the "based on...another story" category and I need some recommendations for my students. I have recommended Gregory Maguire's Wicked as a based on Wizard of Oz, Marissa Meyer's Cinder as a based on Cinderella, and Laura Ruby's Bone Gap as a based on Persephone. But I need a bunch more. Books that would appeal to my boys would be especially helpful. Thanks so much, --Diane   3. Hello, love your podcast and thanks for doing it. I am an avid reader and usually have 3 books on the go: a more 'meaty' / literary read, a quick / light read, plus a non fiction (most often a biography). This is my question. I have recently taken the plunge and set up a book club locally, and our first meeting is set at the end of this month. I would love some recommendations for books that in your opinion will lead to a good interesting discussion. Just so you can get an idea, the first books that I've already set for the book club are: Sarah Schmidt's See what I have done, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan. These are books that I would normally be reading myself. Any suggestions for possible books for the following months? --Maria   4. Hello, I am part of a Scifi and fantasy book club and for February I am suggesting that we read a book (scifi or fantasy) that has a LGBTQ Romance. It doesn't have to be the protagonist or antagonist but I would prefer that. We have already read River of Teeth which has several LGBTQ characters in it. Any suggestions would be of great help! love the show! --Jean   5. I love books so much I'm on a hunt for a book about books! Fiction / YA is my jam but I'm open to any genre that keeps me turning the page. I would love a book where the main character finds a magical library or bookstore and/or has an awesome relationship with books. I've read the Book Thief but haven't been able to find anything else where books play a main role. Looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks, --Jessica   6. Hello, Hi Jenn and Amanda - I have a family & friends book club. We recently read Persepolis which was so, so good! The meeting was extra cool because my 8 year old cousin read it and participated in the conversation. It was fun having a budding young reader in our midst, which got me thinking that we should read some middle grade novels so she can join in more often. I enjoy YA so I am totally open to reading middle grade, but I also think others in the group would enjoy it too. Do you have any recommendations for middle grade that would be good book club picks? Thanks for the show and ALL the recommendations! --Alex   7. I just read "Everything I Never Told You" by Celeste Ng as a book riot rec... OMG! Love! Can you please recommend more books that have a slight suspense angle but mainly focus on really rich characters that seem authentic? --Lexie   Books Discussed Gnomon by Nick Harkaway The Line Becomes a River by Francisco Cantú For reader looking for books for 7 year old boy: The Lunch Lady series and the Dog Man series. (Sarah from Insiders) For reader looking for books from other countries NOT about war/racism: Thousand Cranes by Yasunari Kawabata, about a man who meets his late father's mistress and gets sort of obsessed, but more in a flies-in-the-face-of-Japanese-manners-way, not a creepy-stalker-will-kill-you way (Melissa from Insiders) The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch Lawless by Jeff Salane All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry (Orpheus) The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh (1001 Nights) Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead The Tiger’s Daughter by K. Arsenault Rivera Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman 100 Must Read Books About Books post Inkheart by Cornelia Funke Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder Unidentified Suburban Object by Mike Jung All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews (trigger warning: suicide) A Separation by Katie Kitamura

El consultorio de Elena Francis tiene mucho que ver con la nueva novela de Rosario Raro: "La huella de una carta". Rafael Ábalos nos transportó a los misterios del Tercer Reich con "Las brumas del miedo". En la sección "Citas de libros", Eva Caballero trajo a Yasunari Kawabata, premio Nobel japonés. Y recordamos el legendario momento de Umbral con Mercedes Milá: "Yo aquí he venido a hablar de mi libro".

¡Ya estamos de vuelta! Hace seis meses que grabamos nuestro último programa y que anunciamos un breve receso para centrarnos en la publicación del libro Esto no es una revista literaria. Pues bien, iniciado el año 2017 y con el retoño en nuestras estanterías volvemos a la carga con la que seguramente sea la última temporada de este programa de radio.

Ignacio Pillonetto, Eduardo Martín y Víctor Gutiérrez han seleccionado un total de seis libros con el que intentarán poner el broche final a esta pequeña utopía radiofónica.

ROSTROS Yasunari Kawabata Desde los seis o siete años hasta que tuvo catorce o quince, no había dejado de llorar en escena. Y junto con ella, la audiencia lloraba también muchas veces. La idea de que el público siempre lloraría si ella lo hacía fue la primera visión que tuvo de la vida. Para ella, las caras se aprestaban a llorar indefectiblemente, si ella estaba en escena. Y como no había un solo rostro que no comprendiera, el mundo para ella se presentaba con un aspecto fácilmente comprensible. No había ningún actor en toda la compañía capaz de hacer llorar a tanta gente en la platea como esa pequeña actriz. A los dieciséis, dio a luz a una niña. –No se parece a mí. No es mi hija. No tengo nada que ver con ella –dijo el padre de la criatura. –Tampoco se parece a mí –repuso la joven–. Pero es mi hija. Ese rostro fue el primero que no pudo comprender. Y, como es de suponer, su vida como niña actriz se acabó cuando tuvo a su hija. Entonces se dio cuenta de que había un gran foso entre el escenario donde lloraba, y desde donde hacía llorar a la audiencia, y el mundo real. Cuando se asomó a ese foso, vio que era negro como la noche. Incontables rostros incomprensibles, como el de su propia hija, emergían de la oscuridad.

The mountain grumbles, Shingo mumbles. But it is hard to hear him over the sound of the dishes. On this full length episode we discuss Yasunari Kawabata’s The Sound of the Mountain and try to come to terms with the dying patriarch’s aimless drift towards the end. Is it apathetic existentialism? Good old-fashion failure? The culture of post-war Japan? Personal defeatism? Idiocy? Anger? Or an odd replication of nature’s non-action? As always, read the novel and give us a listen.

His most famous novels are Snow Country, Thousand Cranes, and The Sound of the Mountain. His work is often poetic, lyrical, and melancholic.  

Memory as time travel. Enigmatic lovers. The comfort of objects. A ghostly romantic comedy. Each, one of Yasunari Kawabata’s Palm of the Hand stories under discussion. Each description merely a scratch at the surface of meaning and depth found in these subtle, quiet works. On this shortened episode, as B.O.S.S. prepares for Kawabata’s The Sound of the Mountain, David, Nathan, and Nick look at four of the reductionist vignettes: “A Sunny Place,” “Sleeping Habit,” “The Silver Fifty-Sen Pieces,” and “Immortality.”   Between poetry and prose lies a different form. Between the past and the future is the now. Within the now is all time, all meaning. Or, something like that… As always, read the stories and give us a listen. Join the B.O.S.S.

"El resto es literatura" espacio en la radio del programa de promoción de la lectura del Tecnológico de Monterrey: Pasión por la Lectura. En esta ocasión, el programa está dedicado al escritor japonés, Yasunari Kawabata.

 Colin Marshall sits down in Nishinomiya, Japan with translator, writer, and former Kansai Time Out editor Christopher Stephens. They discuss whether higher Japanese skills get a foreigner more suspicion; the nearby presence and touristic effects of novelist Haruki Murakami's elementary school; the older writers, like Yasunari Kawabata, Junichiro Tanizaki, and Yukio Mishima, who stoked his interest in Japan; the experimental music to be found in Japan, such as the work of Keiji Haino and the Boredoms, and specifically in the Kansai noise scene; the Osaka duality between money-making hard workers and underground weirdness; the local pride taken in relative roughness and unrefinement, and the stereotype of the bad Osakan; what actually distinguishes the Osaka dialect, and how entirely different words might see use in one city but not its neighbor; Japan's visual culture, and the problematic emphasis on beauty that can ensue; his youth in Fresno, California, whose finest quality was the way it pushed him out; the time he took Wilco to an Osaka psychedelic sixties rock bar; how, when the Japanese open a psychedelic sixties rock bar, they really open a psychedelic sixties rock bar; his early struggles with regional backwardness in the eighties, and what happens when Japanese friends still ask him to hold their babies; Osaka's high crime rate for Japan and Fresno's high crime rate for California; whether Paris syndrome actually afflicts the Japanese; the West's eagerness to believe everything they hear about Japan; photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki's purchase of the entire collection of Toba's science-fiction erotic museum; the cannaboid substance known as "herb" that recently made the rounds in Japan; the persistence of visual art in Japan which goes well beyond Takashi Murakami, and his own specialty, the Gutai group of painters; why no Japanese person has yet appeared on this show, and what linguistic reasons might explain it; the corrections Japanese people make to his English; his work editing Kansai Time Out during the heyday of its breed of publication; Japan's relatively robust print culture, at least by contrast to America's; how little time translation leaves to learn new words or savor the language; and, despite the world's having lost confidence in Japan, his theory that darkness always brings light, and that trouble sparks creativity.

Harriett Gilbert is joined by writer Meg Rosoff and comedian Sara Pascoe to talk about the books they love - which in Sara's case is controversial: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Meg chooses the lyrically beautiful Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. And Harriett recommends An Education by Lynn Barber, which was made into an acclaimed film starring Carey Mulligan.
