This volume will help instructors introduce students to novels, short stories, and manga that confront postwar Japanese experiences, including the suffering caused by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the echoes of Japan's colonialism and imperialism, new ways of thinking about Japanese identity and about minorities such as the\u003ci\u003e zainichi\u003c\/i\u003e Koreans, changes in family structures, and environmental disasters. Essays provide context for understanding the particularity of postwar Japanese literature, its place in world literature, and its connections to the Japanese past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of Tawada Yōko's \"The Bath\"; Nakagami Kenji's \"The Cape\"; works by Murakami Haruki; \u003ci\u003eThe Apprenticeship of Big Toe P\u003c\/i\u003e; works by Mishima Yukio; \u003ci\u003eBlack Rain\u003c\/i\u003e; Serai Yūichi's \"Birds\"; Hajime Isayama's \u003ci\u003eAttack on Titan\u003c\/i\u003e; works by Ishimure Michiko; 3\/11; Araki Tetsurō; Yasunari Kawabata's \u003ci\u003eThousand Cranes\u003c\/i\u003e; Ariyoshi Sawako's \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Years\u003c\/i\u003e; Endō Shūsaku's \u003ci\u003eSilence\u003c\/i\u003e; and works by Kawabata Yasunari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 8.98 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855984492832,"sku":"9781603295949","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bE6Ox9a4mU9781603295949.webp?v=1781544789","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/teaching-postwar-japanese-fiction-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
