Krátky popis
'If we want to understand what has been lost to time, there is no
way other than through the exercise of imagination ... imagination
applied with delicate rather than broad strokes'. So wrote the
award winning Japanese author Kyoko Nakajima of her story, Things
Remembered and Things Forgotten, a piece that illuminates, as if by
throwing a switch, the layers of wartime devastation that lie just
below the surface of Tokyo's insistently modern culture.The ten
acclaimed stories in this collection are pervaded by an air of
Japanese ghostliness. In beautifully crafted and deceptively light
prose, Nakajima portrays men and women beset by cultural amnesia
and unaware of how haunted they are - by fragmented memories of war
and occupation, by fading traditions, by buildings lost to
firestorms and bulldozers, by the spirits of their recent past.
