Gli Insetti Preferiscono Le Ortiche by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
A sharply observed domestic portrait of a restless husband and his wife whose unsettled marriage becomes a stage for larger conflicts between modern Western tastes and traditional Japanese aesthetics; as he drifts toward fascination with the world of the theatre and the allure of an alternative lover, the novel probes desire, jealousy and identity while using ritual, performance and richly textured scenes of everyday life to examine how cultural change reshapes intimacy and belonging.
