Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Napier must surely be one of the most widely-read scholars in the field of modern Japanese literature, and she cogently weaves together textual elements from works...seemingly unrelated.... Napier's writing is, as always, compact and sophisticated without being at all ponderous. Her active disregard for boundaries between so-called high- and pop-culture forms is refreshing and exhilerating.... Finally, this book is a major contribution to modern literary and cultural studies in its attention to the alternative, subversive visions of society constituted by the "fantastic.."" -"Journal of Asian Studies "By adopting a cultural studies approach, she succeeds in probiding the general public as well as Japan specialists with a work that discusses the fantastic worlds in Japanese literature.... remarkable for time and effort alone that must have gone into the preliminary research, not to mention the final product." -"Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies

Reseña del editor:

An exploration of the dark side to Japanese literature and Japanese society. A wide range of fantasists form the basis for a ground breaking analysis of the fantastic.
