The Shiga hero by William F Sibley( Book )

6 editions published between 1978 and 1979 in English and held by 390 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Shiga Naoya (1883-1971), one of Japan's foremost modern writers, is known primarily for his spare, intense short stories. Highly subjective, Shiga's work belongs to the genre of "personal" or "psychological" fiction; much of his raw material is rooted in his own inner experience. His incisive style and disregard of the formal aspects of fiction present a vision of the world that is at times "primitive" and archetypal. Shiga relentlessly explores the vision through the viewpoint of a single central character who appears in almost all his works. Sibley unifies Shiga's sparse, fragmented narratives by reconstructing the cyclical biography of this imaginary hero. Through an analysis of Shiga's psychoanalytic and mythopoetic approach to fiction, Sibley develops a useful model for the study of personal writers

Potovanje skozi temno noč by Naoya Shiga( Book )

2 editions published in 1993 in Slovenian and held by 22 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Roman je v prvem delu zasnovan kot niz poglavij, ki se lahko berejo kot samostojne zgodbe. V romanu opisuje vsakdanje življenje pisatelja iz premožne družine, poudarek pa je na detajlih in na čustvenem, notranjem svetu glavnega junaka. Čeprav ima roman veliko avtobiografskih potez, je Shiga svoji domišljiji pustil prosto pot, tako da ga zaradi izmišljenih oseb in dogodkov ne moremo šteti med avtobiografske romane
