Dandelions Yasunari Kawabata Penguin Classics

The exquisite last novel from Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari KawabataIneko has lost the ability to see things. At first it was a ping-pong ball, then it was her fiancé. The doctors call it \'body blindness\', and she is placed in a psychiatric clinic to recover. As Ineko\'s mother and fiancé walk along the riverbank after visiting time, they wonder: is her condition a form of madness - or an expression of love? Exploring the distance between us, and what we say without words, Kawabata\'s transcendent final novel is the last word from a master of Japanese literature. \'Lusciously peculiar\' Paris Review Σελίδες: 144, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
