Description
"In the three surreal, erotically charged tales in this collection, Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata examines the boundaries between fantasy and reality in the minds of three lonely men. These stories are piercing evocations of sexuality and human psychology-- and works of remarkable subtlety and beauty--that showcase one of the twentieth century's great writers at his very best."--Back cover.
