08 Oct / The Lake by Yasunari Kawabata, translated by Reiko Tsukimura [in AsianWeek]
![](https://apa.si.edu/bookdragon/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2004/10/Lake.jpg)
An oddly compelling novella about a lonely man who never quite gets the girl – any girl – but is unwilling to give up trying. Indeed, few writers can do isolation quite like Kawabata, the Nobel-Prize-winning author best known for his lyrical Snow Country.
