If there are more and more voices "praising oneself" in the traditional literary world, the other party, as a giant in the literary world, has to take into account the voices of the book review circle?

……

On the other side, Yuichiro Yoshikawa, who was worried by Hiroto Akihara, held a copy of "Snow Country" and let out a "tsk tsk" sound of admiration.

He is over 70 years old this year, and age spots can even be seen on his face, giving him an old-fashioned feeling.

In fact, his hand holding the book trembled slightly.

Seeing Yuichiro Yoshikawa's focused expression, Takashi Tokuda, as a disciple, knelt on the tatami mats in the tea room, holding a cup of tea without saying a word.

He didn't put down the tea in his hand until his teacher had finished reading the book, and tentatively asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this work?"

Yoshikawa Yuichiro gave him a meaningful look, and then said: "Since you showed me this book, shouldn't you have something in your mind?"

Tokuda Takashi opened his mouth, but said nothing.

And Yuichiro Yoshikawa sighed, and then said: "That child, Yuuto Akihara, has already walked out of his own way."

From the perspective of aesthetic literature, this "Snow Country" can use the ultimate "beauty" in terms of wording, sentence making and story structure.

But his sense of beauty is based on the "beauty of nothingness" or "beauty of solitude".

Undoubtedly, another breakthrough in his own path of "pure beauty" at this time.

It seems that my idea of ​​accepting him as a disciple is a bit too abrupt...

Before that, he had read Hiroto Akihara's "Rashomon", and thought that he was still a piece of rough jade with great value, so he wanted to accept him as a disciple.

But I didn't expect that this piece of jade in the rough actually had another side that I didn't know about.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, footsteps came, and a middle-aged man in a men's kimono pushed open the shoji door, bowed and walked into the tea room.

His name is Takuro Kanno, he is a student of Yuichiro Yoshikawa, and he is also a professor and director of the Faculty of Literature of the University of Tokyo.

In fact, the previous book review that criticized Hiroto Akihara's "Rashomon" was also issued at his behest.

After showing his affection to the teacher, he handed in an article and said, "Master, I wrote a book review for Hiroto Akihara's "Snow Country", please read it."

This time, he intends to continue his previous actions and criticize the "heterogeneous" Akihara Yuto.

Yuichiro Yoshikawa took the book review and read it carefully.But as he watched, his expression became more and more serious.

Hiss!

With wrinkled hands, he tore the manuscript in half.

"Teacher, what is this?" Kanno Takuro showed a shocked expression.

Yuichiro Yoshikawa glanced at him and said bluntly, "Kanno, where is your literary heart?"

Hearing the teacher's reprimand, Kanno Takuro was "at a loss", so he could only bow his head deeply and listened to the teacher's reprimand.

Seeing his disciple's actions, Yuichiro Yoshikawa said after being silent for a while.

"I don't care about your small actions in the name of me before, but you should be in awe of truly outstanding authors."

Kanno Takuro continued to lower his head, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Hiroto Akihara, to be called an excellent author by his teachers, this is an extremely high evaluation...

[Chapter 273.272 The revival of traditional literature]

In Kanno Takuro's impression, his teacher Yuichiro Yoshikawa seldom commented on the word "excellent" to related writers.

In fact, even the words "not bad" were only heard three years ago.

And the writer who was evaluated as "not bad" has won many awards at home and abroad, and has a high status in the traditional literary world.

Hiroto Akihara, He De and He Neng, could be treated like this by his teacher.

Yuichiro Yoshikawa looked at his first disciple and said in a serious voice.

"After I go back, I will have a good experience of the advantages of the book "Snow Country", and then write a book review."

After a pause, he said again: "As for my comment, you can put it there too."

Kanno Takuro froze for a moment, then nodded and said "yes".

Although in his opinion, Akihara Yuto is still a different kind.

By suppressing him, the status of traditional literature can be improved.

But my teacher said so, so I can completely let go of my little thoughts before.

After some conversation, he left the tea room and made a few hasty phone calls.

……

Two days later, Hiroto Akihara held a literary publication under the banner of Dongda and fell into doubt.

In this publication, it is written "Snow Country, "Nihilism" in Aestheticism Literature", author Takuro Kanno.

But unlike before, in this article, the praise for the book "Snow Country" is beyond words.

Not only was he praised in the choice of words and sentences, but even the core of the article was picked out and praised from beginning to end.

At the end of this article, it even emphatically mentioned the sentence "Yuichiro Yoshikawa believes that Hiroto Akihara is an excellent writer."

It was this sentence that made Hiroto Akihara deeply "perplexed".

Didn't Yuichiro Yoshikawa want to suppress himself?

Why do you come to praise yourself now? Could it be that you thought wrong?

Or, what happened?

Just when he was puzzled, the phone rang.

Hiroto Akihara picked up the phone and found that it was Shuichi Toyama who was calling.

"Akihara, did something happen between you and Mr. Yoshikawa? Are you planning to become a teacher?" Shuichi Toyama asked puzzled.

"not at all."

Hiroto Akihara told the truth that apprenticeship would do too much harm to his interests, and it was impossible for him to do it.

"Did you know? Teacher Yoshikawa's evaluation of you has aroused considerable repercussions in the traditional literary circle."
