Overview

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
 
En 1992, la ya anciana Chiyo Uno publicó la historia de Kazúe, una muchacha que, tras protagonizar una indiscreción amorosa, acaba escapando de su hogar. La narradora la sigue hasta Tokio, describe su vida hasta pasados los treinta y cinco años y se pregunta, en una suerte de hipnótico vaivén, las razones por las que Kazúe obró, decidió y sintió. El efecto es de una fuerza sorprendente y las frases cortas, sincopadas y estrictas parecen intentos de respuesta, siempre provisionales, a esa incesante inquisición.

Erotismo frío, pasión lúcida y un estilo condensado y misterioso se aúnan en Historia de una mujer soltera, que pertenece a una categoría específica de los géneros narrativos japoneses, la watakushi-shosetsu o «novela del yo», forma de relato que combina la autobiografía y la ficción. Una obra excepcional por la autora que desafió las convenciones de su época, ganadora del Japan Art Academy Prize, el Premio de Literatura Femenina y el Noma Literary Prize, nombrada Persona de Mérito Cultural por el emperador y considerada «una de las principales escritoras de Japón» (The New York Times).

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An exceptional novel, half autobiography, half fiction, by “one of the top writers in Japan” (The New York Times), winner of the Japan Art Academy Prize and the Noma Prize.

“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).
