Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Scandal

Involves a famous Catholic writer whose comfortable life is shattered when a drunken woman crashes a reception in his honor, claiming that he frequents the red-light district of Tokyo and that his portrait is exhibited in a gallery there. The result: his reputation as a writer, his marriage, and his sense of identity all are placed at risk. A psychological thriller and a literary work of art which, as it subtly peels off layers of the dark side of human nature, grips and propels the reader.

Judgment Based On Books Scandal

Another mind blowing brilliant book by Endo. I love his spiritual themes of good and evil, forgiveness and redemption. A very powerful and gifted writer.

okay, not really stunning. what for a catholic writer comes off as "daring, and gripping descent into sin", is for the modern reader, elicts a reaction (view spoiler)[ just one freakin' schoolgirl?

Hi there, My name is Ophelia. But there's something else about me that I'd like you to know. You see there's a story why I exist, and I'm not talking about natural birth here. Mia's too shy to tell you this story. And since I'm the bitch one, I guess it's a pleasure heheMia was born in a modest family, I didn't say her family is economically challenged because they're not but hey how much do you think a Protestant priest earns? Certainly not that much. The fact that her father decided to serve

An aging Japanese Catholic novelist with a dark side writes a novel about an aging Japanese Catholic novelist confronting his dark side. An interesting psychological plot with several promising characters ultimately diffuses in simplistic Catholic guilt. Plot spoiler: the Doppelganger did it.

I know this is widely considered to be Endos masterpiece, but this is the second time Ive read it (the first was in 2005) and I still have misgivings. The first of these is not the fault of Endo, but the translation seems outdated to me. On several occasions there are proverbs or clichés - used frequently in Japanese, they dont have the same tired, hackneyed feeling, but even if there is an equivalent proverb in English I dont feel as if it translates the spirit of the Japanese phrase...
