Resumen
Love as sickness and immortality, sex as entrapment and revenge--these are the themes that the Nobel Prize-winning author dramatizes with such cool and mesmerizing power in Beauty and Sadness. At its heart is a destructive love affair between a married writer and a teenage girl that continues to haunt both of them more than twenty years after their last embrace--and whose lingering bitterness poisons everyone around them. This novel confirms Kawabatas reputation as a modern Japanese master who can turn the tightening of an obi into something infinitely suggestive and perverse.<
