Question: Are both Tom Stoppard and Yasunari Kawabata a novelist?
Context: Snow Country (雪国 , Yukiguni ) is a novel by the Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata.  The novel is considered a classic work of Japanese literature and was among the three novels the Nobel Committee cited in 1968, when Kawabata was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Mr. Thank You (有りがたうさん , Arigatō-san ) is a 1936 Japanese drama film directed by Hiroshi Shimizu.  It is based on a short story by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Yasunari Kawabata. The Sound of the Mountain (Yama no Oto) is a novel by Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata, serialized between 1949 and 1954.  "The Sound of the Mountain" is unusually long for a Kawabata novel, running to 276 pages in its English translation.  Like much of his work, it is written in short, spare prose akin to poetry, which its English-language translator Edward Seidensticker likened to a haiku in the introduction to his translation of Kawabata's best-known novel, "Snow Country". The Master of Go is a novel by the Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata, first published in serial form in 1951.  Titled Meijin (名人) in its original Japanese, Kawabata considered it his finest work, although it is in contrast with his other works.  It is the only one of Kawabata's novels that the author considered to be finished. Sound and Beauty is the omnibus title of two plays by American playwright David Henry Hwang.  Hwang's fourth play, "The House of Sleeping Beauties", was adapted from Yasunari Kawabata's novella "House of the Sleeping Beauties".  It tells the story of the narrator of that novella investigating the brothel that inspired the work.  His fifth play, "The Sound of a Voice", is a ghost story inspired by Japanese films and folk tales.  The one-act plays were produced together and premiered on November 6, 1983 Off-Broadway at the Joseph Papp Public Theater.  It was directed by John Lone, with Lone and Victor Wong. Tanpopo ("The Dandelion") is a Japanese novel by Yasunari Kawabata, written in 1964, but published complete only posthumously in 1972.  Kawabata had commenced serializing his final novel in the literary magazine "Shincho", but after winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in October 1968 he ceased all publishing activity.  It has been published in French as "Les pissenlits" in 2012.  The plot turns on the blindness of the girl Inako (稲子), when making love to the boy Hisano (久野) and the conversations leading to the decision of the girl's mother to protect him from the girl, lest she harm him when she is blind. The House of Sleeping Beauties is a 1983 play by American playwright David Henry Hwang.  Hwang's fourth play, it is an adaptation of Yasunari Kawabata's novella "House of the Sleeping Beauties".  The play depicts Kawabata and how he might have come to have written the novella.  The play was first produced as part of the production "Sound and Beauty" on November 6, 1983 Off-Broadway at the Joseph Papp Public Theater.  It was directed by John Lone, with Victor Wong in the cast. Yasunari Kawabata (川端 康成 , Kawabata Yasunari , 11 June 1899 – 16 April 1972) was a Japanese novelist and short story writer whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the first Japanese author to receive the award.  His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read. Tomoji Abe (阿部 知二 , Abe Tomoji , 26 June 1903 – 23 April 1973) was a Japanese novelist, social critic, humanist, and translator of English and American literature.  Although he began writing as a modernist, in his later works he represented the intellectual movement in Japanese literature.  This movement departed from Japanese traditional thinking and from established forms of narration, which focused on esthetic values and emotional states of mind (such as appear in the works of Junichiro Tanizaki and Ryunosuke Akutagawa); it also departed from modernist views, which continued to be popular in world literature and in Japan (Japanese modernist writers included Haruo Satō, Sei Ito, Tatsuo Hori, Riichi Yokomitsu and Yasunari Kawabata).  Abe's intellectual approach was incompatible with the socio-political atmosphere of Japan in the early Showa period (1925–1945), with rising fascism and militarism, and the crusade to preserve Japanese feudal traditions. Sir Tom Stoppard (born Tomáš Straussler; 3 July 1937) is a Czech-born British playwright and screenwriter, knighted in 1997.  He has written prolifically for TV, radio, film and stage, finding prominence with plays such as "Arcadia", "The Coast of Utopia", "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour", "Professional Foul", "The Real Thing", and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead".  He co-wrote the screenplays for "Brazil", "The Russia House", and "Shakespeare in Love", and has received one Academy Award and four Tony Awards.  Themes of human rights, censorship and political freedom pervade his work along with exploration of linguistics and philosophy.  Stoppard has been a key playwright of the National Theatre and is one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation.  In 2008 "The Daily Telegraph" ranked him number 11 in their list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture".
