Tenohira no shosetsu, Kawabata Yasunari

About to leave for Münich this monday, I left the keys on the door as I got more subject to anxiety before flying. When back to my second home, I looked for substitution books to the one I left at my usual home. I could not find what I wanted of course.

So I digged and found the Kawabata book I bought around 2000 : Tenohira no shosetsu [Palm of the Hand stories]. Unread so far... I'll tell you why one day, should I dare.

I did not read it on the plane as I was busy reading the daily press and saving interisting articles. And reading finance magazines (the stock market is the one with turbulences at this time).

But I started reading it yesterday and I took a break from the corportae life and enjoyed the two first stories today. A dark tone writing with explicit or soft tone allusions to death...
I have to read the whole book and then start the book compliling some of his novels and short stories before I can start writing about his approach to litterature. Not that I am entitled to judging, just because I find it enjoyable to share my experiences and understandings in litterature. By the way, how many people do read this blog?
