Excellent narration, literature of the highest quality
Kawabata is still the only Japanese author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. His literary ability and skill are evident in "Snow Country," a short novel about the doomed romance of a geisha and a businessman. If you're looking for a quick read and an action-packed story, this novel will disappoint you a million times over. However, if you like taking your time to really read into the characters and situations offered in a story, and reflect about what you are reading, "Snow Country" will make you go through a wonderful experience. Kawabata does not only offer insightful characters and meaningful situations, he's also able to open a door into the human psyche and this is certainly not something all authors can do. 100% recommended for those passionate about true literature.
