No rating yet(0 reviews)Tokyo in Transit: Japanese Culture on the Rails and Road is a hardcover by Alisa Freedman, listed in All Books as sku-14558786. Freedman combines historical research and literary analysis to examine fictional, journalistic and popular culture depictions of mass transportation in prewar Tokyo.
She considers how trains and buses brought people of different social classes together, influenced the city's social life and artistic movements, and shaped gender roles associated with modern Japan. Accounts of stations, transport workers and passengers show how Japanese authors responded to rapid urban change and its effects on individuals.
The book also considers how people make themselves at home in Tokyo today. It includes the first English translation of Kawabata Yasunari's 1929 crime novella The Corpse Introducer, presenting another side of the Nobel Prizewinning author.
