Shukichi Hirayama's Eto Jun Revives is a full-scale biography of the critic Jun Eto, built from extensive research and documentation. It follows his work on Soseki, postwar criticism, American experience, conservative thought, marriage, and final years, rereading postwar Japanese discourse through Eto's life.

A substantial biography that brings the central postwar critic Jun Eto back into view through both his brilliance and his wounds.
