fiction.wikisort.org - WriterKenji Nakagami (中上健次, Nakagami Kenji, August 2, 1946 – August 12, 1992) was a Japanese novelist and essayist. He is well known as the first, and so far the only, post-war Japanese writer to identify himself publicly as a Burakumin, a member of one of Japan’s long-suffering outcaste groups. His works depict the intense life-experiences of men and women struggling to survive in a Burakumin community in western Japan. His most celebrated novels include Misaki (The Cape), which won the Akutagawa Prize in 1976, and Karekinada (The Sea of Withered Trees),[1] which won both the Mainichi and Geijutsu Literary Prizes in 1977.
During the 1980s Nakagami was an active and controversial figure in the Japanese literary world, and his work was the subject of much debate among scholars and literary critics. As one reviewer put it, "Nakagami was the first writer from the ghetto to make it into the mainstream and to attempt to tell other Japanese, however fictively or even fantastically, about life at the rough end of the economic miracle."[2]
Nakagami was at the height of his fame when he died, of kidney cancer, at the age of 46.

"Chapter Three considers Nakagami's masterpiece, the Akiyuki trilogy. Rather than the better known 1976 and 1977 works, 'Misaki' (The Cape) and Kareki nada (The Sea of Withered Trees), close attention is given to Chi no hate shijo no toki (1983, The End of the Earth, Supreme Time), written after Nakagami's declaration of his Burakumin background."

[ru] Накагами, Кэндзи
Кэндзи Накагами (яп. 中上 健次 Накагами Кэндзи, 2 августа 1946 — 12 августа 1992) — японский писатель, литературный критик и поэт. Изначальное чтение фамилии — Накауэ (была постепенно изменена из-за расхожего употребления варианта Накагами). Известен как радикальный и бескомпромиссный новатор современной японской прозы, называется также важнейшим японским писателем современности[1]. Для произведений, относимых отдельными критиками к магическому реализму[2], характерны космогонический масштаб, мифологичность, стихийность. Наибольшую известность получил роман «Берег мёртвых деревьев» (枯木灘, 1977, пер. на рус.). Лауреат премии Акутагавы (1975) и премии Майнити (1977).
