In its own way each story reveals the profound ambivalence increasing numbers of Japanese began to feel toward their lives as their desires were channelled into the nation?s single-minded goal of achieving high-speed economic growth. The stories are preceded by a critical introduction that situates Kuroi?s development and ethos as a writer within the context of profound socio-cultural change spanning the end of World War II through the early 1970s. 606 $aJapanese fiction$xTranslations into English 615 0$aJapanese fiction$xTranslations into English. 676 $a895.635 700 $aKuroi$b Senji$f1932-$0712369 701 $aTillack$b Peter$01491994 701 2$aKuroi$b Senji$f1932-$0712369 701 2$aKuroi$b Senji$f1932-$0712369 701 2$aKuroi$b Senji$f1932-$0712369 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792970403321 996 $aEngaging banality$93714173 997 $aUNINA
