Kawabata Yasunari : House of the Sleeping Beauties

Did anyone read this book?

I agree. It is one of the master pieces of Kawabata. Marquez' book 'Of Love and Other Demons" is inspired by this short book.

Ditto, it is almost mystical,Kawabata style is a bit like a lullaby but you never want to sleep while listening to them.

The book you're referring must be Memory of my Melancholy Whores and the term "inspired" is very gentle from your side

You are right, thank you. My error. Inspired, is indeed gentle.
