"Yasunari Kawabata novels were set in environments depicting loneliness, emptiness, symbolizing unsatisfied yearning, and transient or unattainable love, with a backdrop of wild and beautiful nature. His novels were written in a free associative and unconventional style, usually over long periods of time. The bulk of "Snow Country"was published between 1935 and 1937, the period in which it was set, but it was not formally completed until 1947."More papers on "Snow Country" by Yasunari Kawabata:
