Kazuko Saegusa The Disappearance of Novels and Stories (Shibi Bunko 3) First Edition, March 30, 1972 Shibisha H200mm, 117 pages. ¥590 Kazuko Saegusa is known for later writing many historical novels featuring historical women as protagonists, and her achievements are highly regarded as a pioneer of feminist literature. This is the first edition of a collection of her early career, mid-length novels, which were characterized by an avant-garde style at the time of publication. (From the back cover, "Words from the Author") I titled it "The Disappearance of Novels and Stories," but I think it could also be read as "Before Novels and Stories." I believe that in modern times, it is no longer possible to grasp the problems of men and women in the form of the relationship between the real-life A and B. Vinyl cover, obi (paper band), paper cover, hardcover. The front vinyl cover has tears and scratches, but the book itself and the text are in good condition.
