Description
 
Enhances our understanding of Koda Aya's personality and fictional world. [Sherif's] readings of the texts deepen our understanding of the psychopathology underlying Aya's unusual literary perspective. --Monumenta Nipponica

A valuable work for anyone who wishes to understand and appreciate the continuity of Confucian aspects of the traditional Japanese artistic and literary heritage, a heritage that nurtures refinement of character, discipline, and the rhetoric of humility and inadequacy --Journal of Asian Studies, August 2000

A welcome study that adds a new perspective to the understanding of this important writer --Journal of Japanese Studies 26 (2000)

Ann Sherif discusses the life and work of Kòda in light of changes in critical horizons, readerly communities, and especially constructions of gender and the family in the latter half of the twentieth century. Excellent translations of some of Kòda's most provocative short works are included.

Part I of this book is a thought provoking biography and an engaging critical analysis of Koda Aya's work, placing Koda in the context of her times, discussing her signficance as a writer and presenting close analysis of a number of her texts.

Sherif's excellent translations of some of Koda's most provocative short works are including in Part II: the essays Fragments, and A Friend for Life and two short stories are included.
