Chapter 367: Kinkakuji

After dinner that day, Takeshita asked Sakai Chie to follow him into the study-{Sui}{Dream} novel щww{suimеng][lā} He took out a stack of pre-printed manuscripts and handed them to the other party. After weighing it again and again, he once again used the golden finger of the copyist. Convinced that this Yan Sù literary work will definitely arouse rave reviews, he is puzzled when he will reach the level and realm of the original author's writing?

I took it over, and when I looked at Sakai Chie, I saw the words "Kinkakuji" written on the front page. For this reason, I don't need to ask too much, and I know that this is his latest novel. As for the quality, you have to wait for her to read it from beginning to end before commenting.

Although Sakai Chie does not know that this is Yukio Mishima's most representative work, she understands that the reason why Takeshita Kusashi will come out at this time is to respond to the various news that his political entry will inevitably weaken and even fall into literary writing.

"The editor-in-chief of Wenyi Chunqiu and the president of the All Japan PEN Club, Ryohei Kuri, have each called me to invite you to participate in the evaluation of this year's Akutagawa Prize. If you wish, your name will appear on the list of eight judges. Chie Sakai, who had forgotten about it for a while while at dinner, suddenly remembered it.

"No, no." Takeshita Kusaoke, who expressed his meaning simply and clearly, although he has the ability to be a judge, is not interested in spending time on this one thing. Rebellious and unique at heart, he has always kept a distance from the Japanese literary scene in this parallel world. What's more, there is no Japan left by great writers, and even clowns among third-rate writers such as Ryohei Kuri can mix well in today's Japanese literary scene.

There is no surprise in saying that there is no surprise in such an answer, and it is completely expected. She had no intention of saying good things to him, although she knew very well that the writers who could enter the Akutagawa Award jury were the most recognized people in the Japanese literary world at the moment, but he did not need to be recognized by others and peers at all.

In his own opinion, Takeshita grass mustard can be said to have reached the point where no one in the world knows you. The Akutagawa Prize, the highest literary award in the Japanese language, the Booker International Literary Award, and the Kafka Prize, which is known as the vane of the Nobel Prize in Literature. International IMPAC Dublin Literary Prize...... Large and small domestic and foreign awards are enough to illustrate a qiē. The fly in the ointment is that he has yet to win the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature.

Chie Sakai, who knows that the Nobel Prize in Literature does not absolutely prove that the writer himself is a master of world literature, is a perfectionist on the one hand, patiently waiting for Takeshita Kusashi to one day be able to pick up this literary crown. On the other hand, I can understand the urgency of the Japanese people for this award. This is not so much that the writer is recognized by the world literary circle, but that the country's literature has been given a place in the world literary circle.

Among the writers who have not won the Nobel Prize in Literature, there are also literary masters. Marquez, who wrote "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" and won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Borges, who he admired most in his life, did not win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The same era as Hemingway. In the same country, there was no other party as famous during his lifetime, and he did not win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and after his death, Fitzgerald was widely scrutinized and evaluated again, and he could be compared to Hemingway.

In Sakai's view, Fitzgerald is also a genius writer. He was able to write both excellent Yan sù literature and excellent popular literature. Fitzgerald had had everything, and he had lost everything. The reason why his fate has become like this is that his life and marriage are not satisfactory, which makes him waste his talents and talents.

In her mind. The reason why Takeshita Kusa is particularly reluctant to marry is because of two things. First, similar to Kafka, he is always entangled in what love is. Second, Fitzgerald's influence is not small, after all, if you marry a wife who is pompous and extravagant, it is the greatest sorrow and great pain. At that time, it was not that I wrote because I wanted to, and that my works were born from my heart, but that I was forced to write in order to satisfy my wife's profligacy.

For this. Sakai Chie, who has seen it very thoroughly, and can't understand why Takeshita Kusaokei is easy to accept the gentle and thrifty Kitagawa Kako, but it is difficult to accept a woman like herself who has developed the habit of "squandering" since childhood. And the reason why she can accept herself is that she can fully understand Takeshita Kusao's heart for literary creation. In this one aspect. Kako Kitagawa can't understand him well.

"It seems that you won't be going to the finals of the first National Junior High School Student Essay Contest held by Wasakee Publishing House in Tokyo?" Sakai Chie, who understated it, smiled lightly.

"No, I'll go. Not only will they go, but they will also participate in the work of reviewing. "Takeshita Kusasa, a small group of students who love reading and writing. Of course, I know that many of them are full of expectations for themselves, so they want to meet him, talk to him, shake hands...... I will definitely meet such small requirements for them, so as to encourage them to have the courage to open up and forge ahead on the road of writing.

"Oops...... I suddenly don't understand you a little. The works that can be nominated and shortlisted for the Akutagawa Prize are of a certain high quality. As for the author, he naturally has the relevant potential and creative ability. At the very least, you won't have a stomachache when you look at it. And how high can the composition level of middle school students be? It's a privilege for you to review them personally. However, I kindly advise you to bring a quick-acting pill instead of medicine to stop stomach cramps and pain. Half-joking, half-serious Sakai Chie, shook her head and said.

"You're talking too much. Although the children's writing is immature and inexperienced, it can also be glimpsed from their works. "The reason why Takeshita Kusaoke, who is reluctant to be a judge of the Akutagawa Award, is that he is too lazy to argue with the other seven judges over a certain work, and his face is red and his neck is rough.

"Since you don't listen, then forget it. I don't want to persuade either. Anyway, I'll book an emergency bed for you at the hospital in advance. Presumably, those children will be excited when they know that you are hosting it in person, don't, don't. Chie Sakai, who pursed her lips and smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said.
