Abstract

<p>This paper will consider Shigeharu Nakano's response to censorship under the public security preservation law. Nakano converted from Communism in 1934, but after his conversion he continued to implicitly oppose the fascist regime in his works. Especially in “Shōsetsu-no-kakenu-shōsetsuka,” one of the “five stories of conversion,” he critically treated the theme of censorship with the analytical description of oppression inflicted on the act of writing. By means of such self-referential fiction he tried to establish a common front with readers against the undemocratic atmosphere in which freedom of expression was completely stifled.</p>
