초록
The fiction of Japanese author Tanabe Seiko (b. 1928) makes an important critique of women's social position in postwar Japan. Tanabe's Noriko trilogy (1973-1981) explores the strictures placed on women as the protagonist confronts her double, descends to the brink of madness, and ultimately accepts her own mortality. Likewise, Tanabe's 1992 short story "Don't Be So Sweet" depicts a character whose complex gender identity blurs conventional boundaries between male and female. Together, these texts reveal Tanabe's insistence that human beings may be happy only when they are free to express their naturally complex and inconsistent identities.
