The Sound of the Mountain by Yasunari Kawabata

The Sound of the Mountain by Yasunari Kawabata

Ogata Shingo is in his sixties, forgetting names, and one night hears a sound from the mountain behind the house that he takes as an announcement of his death. Nobody else hears it.

Around him a family is quietly failing: a son who is unfaithful and cruel, a daughter whose marriage has collapsed, and a daughter-in-law Shingo finds himself loving in a way he cannot name or act on. Kawabata writes postwar Japan through domestic detail — a Noh mask, a sunflower, a dream — and the restraint is total.

Often named alongside Snow Country as Kawabata's finest work, by the Nobel laureate.
