Nanyang Guo, thoroughly familiar with Shiga Naoya's writings, offers a new view of this very 'Japanese' writer. She goes beyond the 'I-novel' paradigm by taking us on a journey through his understanding of natural phenomena as a key to the psychology of living beings and situations. Guo aptly delineates Shiga's subjective realism as a key to his art. -- Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit, Freie Universitat Berlin
