In Praise of Shadows

[rudi]

After the second or third online reference to it I'd come across in a few days, I sought out Junichiro Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, and managed to get my hands on a copy through the magic of interlibrary loan. I'll have to track down one of his novels at some point.

It's an essay on architecture, housewares, traditional Japanese No and Kabuki,

That definitely sounds like something I'd like. I'm trying to see if I already wrote it down somewhere. It sounds vaguely familiar.

---Nope, the thing I wrote down is called Topophilia by Yi-Fu Tuan. I think I'll add this one to the list.

That looks interesting as well. I'll be adding that to my list :)
