Views on Japan

Abstract: A 6 page research paper that offers a brief survey of 4 books on Japan. This includes 2 novels, Kokoro by Soseki and A Personal Matter by Oe, as well as 2 non-fiction works. The writer argues that all of these works reflect the psychic pain that the Japanese have experienced in adjusting to Western encroachments on traditional Japanese culture. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
