Yellow Rose
By Yoshiya Nobuko and Sarah Frederick (Translator)
Yoshiya Nobuko’s short-story series Flower Stories (Hana monogatari) launched the genre of shōjo fiction--stories expressly written for girls and young women.
For the first time in English, one of the most ardent and influential of the collection, “Yellow Rose,” is published with a translator’s introduction, era-specific design and list of further readings. It will appeal to all readers of fine fiction, especially those with an interest in women’s writings, genre fiction, youth culture, queer writings, and twentieth-century modernist styles.
