Writer Senji Kuroi dies at 94
Original: 黒井千次
Japanese author Senji Kuroi, a leading figure of the 'introspective generation' of postwar literature, has died at the age of 94. Kuroi was known for fiction exploring urban life and inner consciousness, and in later years wrote about the experience of ageing itself. Readers and literary figures are paying tribute to a writer who remained active and reflective well into his final years.
Why now: The death of a major postwar Japanese novelist has just been announced, prompting an outpouring of tributes.
