This group will be ***deleted from Meetup.com*** on February 13, 2025 due to the high cost of a subscription. If anyone would like to pay the fee to continue using this platform, please let me know. The cost is $195.55 charged in advance every six months (\~$32.50/month). I have opted not to fund raise to continue on this platform since Bookclubs.com is only $5/month for a similar service.

Join us for a discussion of "Snow Country" by Yasunari Kawabata.

Book Description:

Nobel Prize recipient Yasunari Kawabata's *Snow Country* is widely considered to be the writer's masterpiece, a powerful tale of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan.

At an isolated mountain hot spring, with snow blanketing every surface, Shimamura, a wealthy dilettante meets Komako, a lowly geisha. She gives herself to him fully and without remorse, despite knowing that their passion cannot last and that the affair can have only one outcome. In chronicling the course of this doomed romance, Kawabata has created a story for the ages, a stunning novel dense in implication and exalting in its sadness.
