Description

Shono Yoriko continues to talk about dreams. Usually, the word "dream" has indicated the literary technique shunned by conventional realist literature and privileged solely by the traditional surrealist literature. Nevertheless, from her early short stories and novellas to the longer works of fiction at present,Shono Yoriko has been spinning out the "dream" unique to the Japanese unconscious inexplicable by simple dualism. That dream never ceases to disrupt the generic frames of reference, as well as the reader's horizons of expectation.
