Soseki: Modern Japan's Greatest Novelist - Asia Perspectives: History, Society, and Culture
Nathan, John (Takashima Professor of Japanese Cultural Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara)
John Nathan provides a lucid and vivid account of Natsume Soseki, the father of the modern novel in Japan. This biography elevates Soseki to his rightful place as a great synthesizer of literary traditions and a brilliant chronicler of universal experience who, no less than his Western contemporaries, anticipated twentieth-century modernism.
