«Dientes de león» is the posthumous novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Seix Barral in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Inako, a young woman who suffers from «body blindness»: those she loves become invisible to her. After she is admitted to the Ikuta psychiatric centre, her boyfriend Kuno and her mother talk for a day at an inn and wonder whether their love or family past has caused the illness, or whether they can cure it.
Posthumous novel previously unpublished in Spanish, with translation by Tana Oshima and preface by Alejandra Kamiya. Original title: «Tanpopo» (1972).
For readers of Japanese narrative and contemporary literary fiction, especially those seeking Kawabata's posthumous work.
Yasunari Kawabata was a Japanese novelist and short story writer whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Japanese author to receive the award. His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read.
