The Izu Dancers and Other Stories Kawabata and Inoue

Contents:
The Izu Dancer - Yasunari Kawabata
The Counterfeiter - Yasushi Inoue
Obasute - Yasushi Inoue
The Full Moon Yasushi Inoue

A book of short stories that offers a sampling of two great writers, Yasunari Kawabata and Yasushi Inoue.

The title story, The Izu Dancer by Kawabata tells of a small troupe of traveling performers and a student infatuated with their young drummer girl.

Inoue's contributions include The Counterfeiter, Obasute, and The Full Moon. All three stories deal with separation, loneliness, and alienation. Inoue takes the isolation, the loneliness of the character... a minor chord... and strokes it into the beautiful riff of nature. If he were a musician, he'd be singing the blues... with a smile as he looked out in his mind's eye over the mountains in the early autumn.
