by Chiyo Uno (Author)
Una novela excepcional, mezcla de autobiografía y ficción, por «una de las principales escritoras de Japón -The New York Times, ganadora del Japan Art Academy Prize y el Noma Prize.
«Muchas de las raras aves, de los mirlos blancos, de las excepciones a la regla, de la literatura son mujeres. [...] Rara y voladora es Chiyo Uno . -Marta Sanz
"Many strange birds, white ravens, exceptions to the rule in literature are women... Chiyo Uno is winged and rare." --Marta Sanz
In 1992, an elderly Chiyo Uno published the story of Kazue, a young girl who, after featuring in a romantic indiscretion, runs away from home. The narrator follows her all the way to Tokyo, describing her life past her thirty-fifth birthday, and wonders, in a sort of hypnotic swing, the reasons why Kazue acted, decided, and felt the way she did. The effect is so surprisingly powerful, that those short, strict, syncopated sentences seem like tentative answers, ever provisional, to that unceasing inquiry. Cold eroticism, lucid passion, and a condensed and mysterious style come together in The Story of a Single Woman, belonging to a specific category in Japanese narrative, the watakushi-shosetusu, or "novel of the I," a story form that combines autobiography and fiction. An exceptional work by the author who defied the conventions of her time, winner of the Japan Art Academy Prize, the Feminine Literature Prize, and the Noma Literary Prize, designated Person of Cultural Merit by the emperor, and considered "one of the top writers in Japan" (The New York Times).
Author Biography
Chiyo Uno (1897 - 1996) fue una escritora japonesa que ejerció una notable influencia en el panorama cultural de su país en el siglo xx. Empezó a publicar en la década de 1920 y cosechó un temprano éxito literario. Dejó a su marido y se trasladó a Tokio para llevar una vida bohemia y glamurosa junto a otros escritores, artistas y poetas. Fue una mujer de espíritu libre que no quiso limitarse a la función tradicional de esposa y madre. Se casó y divorció cuatro veces en una época en la que el adulterio femenino era considerado un crimen en la sociedad de su país. En 1935 publicó la novela Confesiones de amor, con la que alcanzó una gran popularidad. Poco después fundó la primera revista de moda del país, Sutairu (Estilo), y se convirtió en una reconocida diseñadora de kimonos. A partir de los sesenta años, comenzó a ser ensalzada como la escritora japonesa más significativa del siglo y su celebridad e influencia fueron reconocidas formalmente en 1990, cuando el emperador la nombró Persona de Mérito Cultural. Además de esta distinción, recibió numerosos galardones de prestigio, como el Japan Art Academy Prize, el Premio de Literatura Femenina en dos ocasiones y el Noma Literary Prize. En 1983 publicó sus memorias, que fueron adaptadas a la televisión, y en 1992, Historia de una mujer soltera (Lumen, 1996, 2023). En una entrevista realizada en 1987, declaró «Nunca me he obligado a hacer nada que no quisiera. He vivido mi vida tal como he querido».
