Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! I often wonder whether great tragedy begets great art. It seems that so many Japanese authors and other artists were plagued by tragic events during their childhood that shaped them and that echo throughout their works. The Japanese author we profile today is no exception: his is a tragic story from beginning to end. In this lesson, you will learn about Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata. First, we’ll give you some background on the childhood that informed his Japanese stories. Next, we’ll share the plot behind his best-known work in Japanese, and finally, we’ll tell you about his accomplishments and explain why his writing is so popular in Japan. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com, where you will find Japanese lesson notes (remember—this Advanced Audio Blog lesson is spoken entirely in Japanese!) and many more fantastic lessons and learning resources!
