A True Novel
A True Novel | Minae Mizumura
8 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 31 to read
A remaking of Emily Bronts Wuthering Heights set in postwar Japan A True Novel begins in New York in the 1960s, where we meet Taro, a relentlessly ambitious Japanese immigrant trying to make his fortune. Flashbacks and multilayered stories reveal his life: an impoverished upbringing as an orphan, his eventual rise to wealth and successdespite racial and class prejudiceand an obsession with a girl from an affluent family that has haunted him all his life. A True Novel then widens into an examination of Japans westernization and the emergence of a middle class. The winner of Japans prestigious Yomiuri Literature Prize, Mizumura has written a beautiful novel, with love at its core, that reveals, above all, the power of storytelling.
