Biography
Japanese novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968. The sense of loneliness and preoccupation with death that permeates much of his mature writing possibly derives from the loneliness of his childhood (he was orphaned early and lost all near relatives while still in his youth). - Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literaturemore
