<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968, the novelist Yasunari Kawabata felt the essence of his art was to be found not in his longer works but in a series of short stories--which he called Palm-of-the-Hand Stories--written over the span of his career. In them we find loneliness, love, and the passage of time, demonstrating the range and complexity of a true master of short fiction.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>These 60 stories by 1968 Nobel laureate Kawabata are engagingly and sensitively translated. ...Kawabata is a master storyteller reminiscent of James Joyce, but with a smaller, sharper, more incisive vision. Highly recommended. - <i>Library Journal </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Yasunari Kawabata</b> was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1899 and before World War II had established himself as his country's leading novelist.
