Hello, I would like to recommend Yukio Mishima's "Spring Snow", it's very good. :vsign:

Hey all,
I reviving this thread here because like the OP i too am looking for Japanese lit. So far i've read only two of Murakmamis' novels (The Wind Up Bird Chronicles & A Wild Sheep Chase) Along with Ishiguros' Remains Of The Day.
So far so good...
I will most definetly continue reading these genres of literature, but my question is does anyone know of any good horror novelists?
I'm currently reading Stephen Kings' Pet Sematary & was thinking who would be an equivalent (if better) of his writing. Don't get me wrong I do like Kings' novels...but i want to read something creepier.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Snakes and earrings by Hitomi Kanehara

It is interesting yet pretty violent story, somewhat PE13 or so Id say, but it has won two prizes in Jpn in 2003: Subaru and Akutagawa prizes.
