In this two-part volume, Rebecca L. Copeland offers Western readers a fascinating portrait of Uno's life along with translations of three of her distinctive works of short fiction.Part One depicts Uno's sometimes turbulent passage from obscurity in a small village to national literary prominence. There are the early years under her father's stern turelage; the first scandalous, failed romance which cost her her job as a schoolteacher; her apprenticeship at Enrakuken, the coffee shop of the literary elite whose ranks she laters joined as a resident of the "Magome Literati Village"; her series of passionate and troubled relationships and marriages. Throughout, Dr. Copeland focuses on the evolution of Uno's art and discusses her major works, paying special attention to the effect being female had on Uno's development as a writer. The three stories in Part Two are examples of Uno's work at its finest. "The Puppet Maker" (1942), a much-admired reflection on art and life, describes an encounter with a venerable carver of puppets. "The Sound of the Wind" (1969) is the tale of a wife at the turn of the century who willingly denies her own needs. "This Powder Box" (1966) shows a progressive career woman coming to terms with an old love affair. At once compelling and lyrical, the stories are a masterful interpretation of tradition, of women, and of self-fulfullment. The Sound of the Wind: The Life and Works of Uno Chiyo will engage both specialists and general readers interested in twentieth-century Japan, literature, and women's issues. 517 3 $aLife and works of Uno Chiyo 606 $aAuthors, Japanese$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aWomen authors, Japanese$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, Japanese$xBiography$y20th century 606 $aEast Asian Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 615 0$aAuthors, Japanese 615 0$aWomen authors, Japanese 615 0$aAuthors, Japanese$xBiography 615 7$aEast Asian Languages & Literatures 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 676 $a895.6/344 676 $aB 700 $aCopeland$b Rebecca L.$f1956-$01016161 701 $aUno$b Chiyo$f1897-1996.$0635734 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bSLR 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248335503316 996 $aThe sound of the wind$92376286 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
