maseven 's review for:

Thousand Cranes by Yasunari Kawabata
4.0

Appreciated the symbolism and, as usual, the poetical rhythm Japanese prose has.

Parents living through their children, unescapable destiny of reliving the same mistakes. Sin living through objects, only breaking them breaks the line of endless projection.

It’s a short book, but every page has the weight of a hundred ones.

In the end, it’s always what isn’t said that says the most.
