The Crab Cannery Ship and Other Novels of Struggle

This collection introduces the work of Japanâ€™s foremost Marxist writer, Kobayashi Takiji (1903â€“1933), to an English-speaking audience, providing access to a vibrant, dramatic, politically engaged side of Japanese literature that is seldom seen outside Japan. The volume presents a new translation of Takijiâ€™s fiercely anticapitalist Kani kÅsenâ€•a classic that became a runaway bestseller in Japan in 2008, nearly eight decades after its 1929 publication. It also offers the first-ever translations of Yasuko and Life of a Party Member, two outstanding works that unforgettably explore both the costs and fulfillments of revolutionary activism for men and women. The book features a comprehensive introduction by Komori YÅichi, a prominent Takiji scholar and professor of Japanese literature at Tokyo University.
