Endö Shüsaka is probably the most widely translated of all Japanese authors. In this first major study of Endö's works, Mark Williams moves the discussion on from the well-worn depictions of Endö as the 'Japanese Graham Greene', and places him in his own political and cultural context.
Bringing to light the enduring legacy of a great Japanese author who has contributed to an unmasking of the unsustainability of talk of an 'East-West' divide, this volume will be of interest to Japanese literature students.
