una reflexión sobre lo efímera que es la vida ante la muerte desde un punto de vista que roza lo perturbador

Ini sepertinya karya Yasunari Kawabata yang pertama yg saya baca. Sebenarnya ceritanya lumayan menarik, cumaaaa...terjemahannya beneran terasa baheula, kurang enak aja gitu.

Bercerita tentang laki-laki tua yang datang berkali-kali ke rumah perawan. Rumah perawan ini menyediakan layanan kepada para lelaki (yang diceritakan pada tua) untuk tidur dengan perempuan yang ditidurkan, diberi obat tidur/bius gitu. Jadi mau digimanain gadia itu gak akan bangun. Walau diceritakan secara gamblang, tapi gak kerasa kayak novel erotis juga sih. Eguci tua setiap bertemu dengan gadis di rumah tersebut bawaannya keinget masa muda mulu. ya mungkin emang itu yang dicari.
