Studies in the Comic Spirit in Modern Japanese Fiction

About Studies in the Comic Spirit in Modern Japanese Fiction

Unlike traditional Japanese literature, with its rich tradition of comedy, modern Japanese literature is commonly associated with high seriousness. Cohn analyzes works by three writers-Ibuse Masuji (1898-1993), Dazai Osamu (1909-1948), and Inoue Hisashi (1934- )-that assault the notion that comedy cannot be part of serious literature.
