![]() ![]() He leads to a big build up that you somehow manage to follow along but the build up goes nowhere and you’re left with a neatly wrapped up ending that resolves nothing. He definitely has the skill when it comes to the art of playing with words but his stories are incomplete. To be completely honest, I think Kawabata is unable to write a story. There is a big realization moment for the main character at the end of the novel but what it was I don’t know. You learn little to nothing to about the inner conflicts the various characters face and nothing gets resolved. Even the inner monologue of the main character is dull and uninteresting. However, I argue that your works cannot be so subtle that the readers have no idea what is going on or what the point is. Kawabata is praised due to his poetic/prose language and the subtle nature of his works. Despite having such an interesting premise, the plot completely bores the reader because nothing happens till the very end. This is the second book by Kawabata that I have read and I was quite disappointed by it. ![]()
