Author Description Jun'ichirō <b>Tanizaki</b> (<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17079670._" rel="nofollow noopener">谷崎 潤一郎</a>) was a Japanese author, and one of the major writers of modern Japanese literature, perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Sōseki. <br /><br />Some of his works present a rather shocking world of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions; others, less sensational, subtly portray the dynamics of family life in the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. <br /><br />Frequently his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which constructions of "the West" and "Japanese tradition" are juxtaposed. The results are complex, ironic, demure, and provocative.
