Ishikawa Atsushi to Sengo Nippon (Nichi Bun Ken Sosho)

[Machine Translation] Jun Ishikawa was active in a wide range of fields before and after World War II, and left a significant impact on Japanese literature and culture. His sharp critical eye for culture in general, including not only novels but also critical essays on Japanese classics, translations into modern languages, and time reviews based on the latest thought, has become indispensable in considering postwar Japanese culture. This book clarifies the postwar period of this inimitable writer, Jun Ishikawa, from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. It also includes a posthumous translation of "Arakon" by William J. Tyler, who passed away suddenly.
