Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata

Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata

Shimamura travels by train through a long tunnel into the snow country of western Japan, where he keeps returning to a hot-spring town and to Komako, a country geisha who has fallen in love with him. He is married, wealthy, and writes about Western ballet he has never seen.

Kawabata wrote it in fragments over twelve years, and it moves like that — a gesture, a reflection in a train window, a fire. Komako's feeling is enormous and entirely wasted on a man whose main quality is that nothing reaches him, and the novel knows exactly what it is watching.

The book most often named in Kawabata's Nobel Prize citation, and the finest Japanese novel of its era.
