Synopsis "Naomi "

A hilarious story of one man's obsession and a brilliant reckoning of a nation's cultural confusion--from a master Japanese novelist. When twenty-eight-year-old Joji first lays eyes upon the teenage waitress Naomi, he is instantly smitten by her exotic, almost Western appearance. Determined to transform her into the perfect wife and to whisk her away from the seamy underbelly of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and ultimately marries Naomi, paying for English and music lessons that promise to mold her into his ideal companion. But as she grows older, Joji discovers that Naomi is far from the naïve girl of his fantasies. And, in Tanizaki's masterpiece of lurid obsession, passion quickly descends into comically helpless masochism.

Tanizaki Junichiro (Tokio, 1886-1965), piedra angular de la literatura contemporánea japonesa y eterno candidato al premio Nobel, cursó estudios literarios en la Universidad Imperial. Autor fundamental para el entendimiento mutuo entre Oriente y Occidente, conoció en profundidad la literatura occidental y se dejó empapar por su influencia: Poe, Baudelaire y sobre todo Oscar Wilde. En su etapa inicial destacan obras imprecindibles como El amor de un idiota y Arenas movedizas. Al final de la década de 1920, Tanizaki se trasladó a Kansai, donde descubrió la cultura clásica nipona y la belleza del Japón premoderno. Publicó por entonces La historia de un ciego, Sobre Shunkin y La vida enmascarada del señor de Musashi, obras que beben de la tradición japonesa clásica. Durante la guerra, sufrió la censura en trabajos como Las hermanas Makioka, que se convertirá en uno de los grandes éxitos de posguerra. En 1949 recibió la Orden del Mérito Cultural en reconocimiento a su labor literaria. Prolífico escritor, Tanizaki continuó trabajando de manera incansable hasta su muerte.
