Fault Lines: Cultural Memory and Japanese Surrealism (Cultural Memory in the Present)

"Miryam Sas's Fault Lines is an important contribution to an area of Japanese studies that has been largely neglected, the Japanese avant-garde. . . . Sas's close readings of Japanese surrealist translations, poetry, and criticisms are compelling. . . . Fault Lines contains no shortage of insights into a diverse international movement."The Journal of Asian Studies "But for those who have been baptized by the force of a peculiar language that emerged a century ago, Surrealism, with its inherent violence, fault lines, and dreams, Sas's masterful analytical performance would appear like a luminous guiding post, simultaneously pointing toward the past and the future. We will remember this work."Harvard Journal of Asiatic StudiesMiryam Sas is the author of 'Fault Lines: Cultural Memory and Japanese Surrealism (Cultural Memory in the Present)', published 2002 under ISBN 9780804734134 and ISBN 0804734135.
