«La pandilla de Asakusa» is the literary novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Seix Barral in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
In 1920s Tokyo, the Asakusa district appears as a vibrant and decadent space of theatres, jazz clubs, brothels and cinemas. Kawabata portrays it through chronicles, stories and street scenes, evoking anonymity, freedom and pleasures in a district compared to Montmartre or Times Square. The narrative has an almost cinematic rhythm.
Japanese novel from 1930, translated into Spanish by Mariano Dupont. It was first published in Spain in 2014 within the Biblioteca Formentor collection.
For readers of Japanese fiction, historical fiction and literary novels set in urban environments.
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.
