三島由紀夫 著, by Yukio Mishima

 

A novel that became widely known through a landmark privacy lawsuit, yet whose artistic merit was first recognised abroad. Through the love affair and political struggles between gubernatorial candidate Yūken Noguchi and Kazu Fukuzawa, the woman who supports him, Mishima symbolically portrays the immense emptiness left in the aftermath of a grand political undertaking. His first attempt to bring contemporary social realities directly into literature, the novel offers a perceptive portrayal of Japan's largely apolitical society.

 

絡みつく女。行き詰まる男。

プライヴァシー裁判であまりにも有名になりながら、その芸術的価値については海外で最初に認められた小説。都知事候補野口雄賢と彼を支えた女性福沢かづの恋愛と政治の葛藤を描くことにより、一つの宴が終ったことの漠たる巨大な空白を象徴的に表現する。著者にとって、社会的現実を直接文学化した最初の試みであり、日本の非政治的風土を正確に観察した完成度の高い作品である。
