This is a memoir of the brilliant literary critic Hideo Kobayashi (1902-1983). Written by his younger sister, this memoir is a moving portrait of the private man, of the human being behind the genius. The book complements the studies and translations of Kobayashi's works that are now beginning to appear in English.
