| Shiga Naoya - Japanese writer |
|
Shiga Naoya (志賀 直哉,
February 20,
1883 -
October 21,
1971) was a
Japanese writer. His terse style influenced many later writers. He
garnered praise from the likes of
Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but was despised by
Dazai Osamu for his "sincere" style. He wrote only one novel
A Dark Night's Passing. He is mostly remembered for his short
stories. Later in life he was given the title shôsetsu no kamisama
- "the god of the short story" by those who admired him. |
