Botchan
Publisher description: The setting is Japan's deep south, where the author himself spent some time teaching English in a boys' school. Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties and established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big city, with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young charges; and the result is a chain of collisions large and small.
Studies in the Comic Spirit in Modern Japanese Fiction
Unlike traditional Japanese literature, with its rich tradition of comedy, modern Japanese literature is commonly associated with high seriousness. Cohn analyzes works by three writers--Ibuse Masuji (1898-1993), Dazai Osamu (1909-1948), and Inoue Hisashi (1934- )--that assault the notion that comedy cannot be part of serious literature.
Studies in the Comic Spirit in Modern Japanese Fiction
Unlike traditional Japanese literature, which has a rich tradition of comedy, modern Japanese literature is commonly associated with a high seriousness of purpose. In this pathbreaking study, Joel R.

Halb im Scherz
Gesaku, zu deutsch »spielerische Werke« oder »im Spaß Gemachtes«, ist ein Begriff für verschiedene Arten von Prosa der mittleren und späten Edo-Zeit, deren Kennzeichen Humor und ein ausladend-phantasievoller Umgang mit der Sprache ist. Inoue Hisashi (1934–2010), dessen Schaffen ihm nicht nur den Naoki-Preis und zahlreiche weitere Auszeichnungen, sondern auch ein ausgesprochen großes Lesepublikum verschaffte, greift in seinen Dramen, Romanen, Erzählungen und Essays Traditionen der Edo-Zeit auf, sei es im Stil, in der Themenwahl, oder indem er sich theoretisch wie historisch mit der Gesaku-Literatur und ihren Schriftstellern beschäftigt. Inoue wurde in verschiedenen Zusammenhängen...
