Japanese novels

[pynchonoid]

Kawabata is one author Pynchon mentions in one of his
essays, maybe the Stone Junction intro? I especially
like his House of Sleeping Beauties, Beauty and
Sadness, Snow Country, and Thousand Cranes.

I've enjoyed many novels by Mishima, too, but probably
like his memoir, Sun and Steel best of all the books
I've read by him.
