A Cat, a Man, and Two Womenby Tanizaki, JunichiroFirst Edition
Book desription: Cary, North Carolina, U.S.A.: Kodansha Amer Inc, 1990. Hardcover, 164 pages in very good condition, a little bit of foxing on closed pages top. Very good dustjacket, light rubbing. Stories by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, translated by Paul McCarthy. Tanizaki has long been regarded as one of the giants of the 20th century Japanese writing. In the postwar period, most of his works have become known world-wide. What distinguishes this wonderful new collection_ a novella and 2 shorter stories_ is its kightheartedness, its comic realism. All three stories are variations on a favorite theme: dominance and submission in private relationships. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
