Description
My Brother Hideo Kobayashi (published in Japanese, 1985) is a memoir by Junko Takamizawa of her older brother. Hideo Kobayashi (1902-1983), one of the most brilliant critics of 20th century Japan, wrote on literature, art, music, history, thought and belles-lettres. His writings were not confined to Japan and revealed penetrating insights on the west and its cultures. His sister's memoir provides a moving portrait of the private man and his relationships with his family and friends, that is, the human being behind the genius. This book complements the studies and translations of Kobayashi's works that are now beginning to appear in English. Morton's introduction outlines Kobayashi's life and works and explains his significance in Japanese intellectual history.
