The last Book Box for 2024 is themed From Tokyo to Rome. Two authors with different but complementary styles engage in a conversation we invite you to participate in.
The first book is the first Japanese Nobel Laureate, Yasunari Kawabata’s, classic The Sound of the Mountain. The second is That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana, arguably the greatest work of Italian writer and poet Carlo Emilio Gadda. Scroll down for more details!

The Sound of the Mountain by Yasunari Kawabata

“A rich, complicated novel… Of all modern Japanese fiction, Kawabata’s is the closest to poetry.”
—The New York Times Book Review
By day Ogata Shingo, an elderly Tokyo businessman, is troubled by small failures of memory. At night he associates the distant rumble he hears from the nearby mountain with the sounds of death. In between are the complex relationships that were once the foundations of Shingo’s life: his trying wife; his philandering son; and his beautiful daughter-in-law, who inspires in him both pity and the stirrings of desire. Out of this translucent web of attachments, Kawabata has crafted a novel that is a powerful, serenely observed meditation on the relentless march of time.

That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana by Carlo Emilio Gadda

Italo Calvino, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Alberto Moravia all considered That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana to be the great modern Italian novel.

In a large apartment house in central Rome, two crimes are committed within a matter of days: a burglary, in which a good deal of money and precious jewels are taken, and a murder, as a young woman whose husband is out of town is found with her throat cut. Called in to investigate, melancholy Detective Ciccio, a secret admirer of the murdered woman and a friend of her husband’s, discovers that almost everyone in the apartment building is somehow involved in the case. Gadda’s sublimely different detective story presents a scathing picture of fascist Italy while tracking the elusiveness of the truth, the impossibility of proof, and the infinite complexity of the workings of fate, showing how they come into conflict with the demands of justice and love.
