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.
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.
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.
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 Theatre of Cruelty (French: "Théâtre de la Cruauté" ) is a form of theatre developed by avant-garde playwright, actor, essayist, and theorist, Antonin Artaud, in "The Theatre and its Double".
 Originally a member of the surrealist movement, Artaud eventually began to develop his own theatrical theories.
 The Theatre of Cruelty can be seen as break with traditional Western theatre, and a means by which artists assault the senses of the audience, and allow them to feel the unexpressed emotions of the subconscious.
 While Artaud was only able to produce one play in his lifetime that reflected the tenets of the Theatre of Cruelty, the works of many theatre artists reflect his theories.
 These artists include Jean Genet, Jerzy Grotowski, and Peter Brook.
Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud, better known as Antonin Artaud (] ; 4 September 1896 – 4 March 1948), was a French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theatre director, widely recognized as one of the major figures of twentieth-century theatre and the European avant-garde.
The prix Antonin Artaud was a French literary prize created by Jean Digot and a few poets on 24 May 1951 in Rodez, in memory of Antonin Artaud, and was awarded for the last time in 2008.
My Life and Times with Antonin Artaud (French: "En compagnie d'Antonin Artaud" ) is a 1993 French film, directed by Gérard Mordillat.
 It is based on Jacques Prevel's 1974 novel of the same name.
 It follows Prevel's journal of a two-year friendship with Antonin Artaud until his death in 1948
Sami Frey (born Samuel Frei on 13 October 1937) is a French actor of Polish Jewish descent.
 Among the films he starred in are "En compagnie d'Antonin Artaud" (1993), in which he portrays French poet and playwright Antonin Artaud, and "Bande à part" (1964) by Jean-Luc Godard.
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.
