{"product_id":"red-roofs-and-other-stories-volume-79-9780472053278","title":"Red Roofs and Other Stories: Volume 79","description":"Tanizaki Jun'ichiro (1886-1965), the author of \u003ci\u003eNaomi\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Cat, a Man, and Two Women\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Makioka Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e, was one of the great writers of the twentieth century. The four stories in this volume date from the first and second decades of Tanizaki's long career and reflect themes that appear throughout his work: exoticism, sexuality, sadomasochism, contrasts between traditional and modern societies, disparities between appearance and reality, the power of dreams, amorality, an interest in cinema, and a fascination with the techniques of storytelling. The stories--translated into English here for the first time--are: \"The Strange Case of Tomoda and Matsunaga\" (\"Tomoda to Matsunaga no hanashi,\" 1926), \"A Night in Qinhuai\" (\"Shinwai no yo,\" 1919), \"The Magician\" (\"Majutsushi,\" 1917), and \"Red Roofs\" (\"Akai yane,\" 1925). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472053278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2016 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jun'ichiro Tanizaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916918296757,"sku":"9780472053278","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ce3b5e04-4480-4442-849e-7f03534a5be0.jpg?v=1687273704","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/red-roofs-and-other-stories-volume-79-9780472053278","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
