Let's meet and discuss 'In Praise of Shadows' by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

Hey gang -

This time we will meet and discuss the essay 'In Praise of Shadows' by Junichiro Tanizaki. A short essay on Japanese aesthetics. The essay can be read in the space of one afternoon and is widely available online.

From Maria Popova writing for bringpickings.org:

"The 1933 gem In Praise of Shadows (public library) by Japanese literary titan Junichiro Tanizaki (July 24, 1886–July 30, 1965) belongs to that special order of slim, enormously powerful books that enchant the lay reader with an esoteric subject, leaving a lifelong imprint on the imagination.."

Wow.

We will meet on Thursday the 1st of December at 7:30 pm in our usual cosy, Kreuzberg cafe Wale.

See you then!
