Yasunari Kawabata's Ineko is a beautiful and moving novel about a woman who loses her ability to see things, exploring the distance between us and what we say without words.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 144 pages
Publication date: 04 April 2019
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd


Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata's captivating final novel, Ineko, delves into a profound exploration of the human condition. Tragically, Ineko has lost her ability to perceive the world around her, beginning with a simple ping-pong ball and gradually extending to her beloved fiancé. Diagnosed with body blindness, Ineko is confined to a psychiatric clinic in an attempt to reclaim her sense of sight. As her mother and fiancé stroll along the riverbank after their visits, they grapple with the enigmatic nature of her condition. Is it a manifestation of madness or a profound expression of love? Through his masterful storytelling, Kawabata delves into the intricate nuances of human connection, challenging the boundaries between us and the unsaid words that shape our lives. This transcendent masterpiece, considered the last word from a master of Japanese literature, leaves a lasting impression on readers, inviting them to contemplate the profound depths of the human experience.
