«La clau» is a literary novel by Junichiro Tanizaki, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (144 pages, in Catalan).
A Japanese professor and his wife Ikuko, of strict traditional upbringing, write intimate diaries with their sexual desires. He deliberately leaves the key to the drawer where he keeps his notebook, starting a game of shared secrets that exposes the couple's married life, between love, passion and perversion, in 20th-century Japan.
The 2002 edition of «La clau» belongs to the El Balancí collection (number 440) and includes a translation from Japanese to Catalan by Albert Nolla Cabellos.
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki was a Japanese author who is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in modern Japanese literature. The tone and subject matter of his work range from shocking depictions of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions to subtle portrayals of the dynamics of family life within the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently, his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which the West and Japanese tradition are juxtaposed.
