Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata
L.J.'s review
rating:
recommended for: Japan interests, general
Hard to rate this strongly because I feel like the translation was not able to convey Kawabata's theme extremely well. I found it on par with Hemingway in style but no other book I have read has the same method to drive the plot. Expecting more from the story but maybe I am not enjoying the plot because I am getting a poor translation, the book had some great imagery but the overall story was to subtle and didn't leave me wanting to read more.
