Spring Snow - A Translation
by Alison Turnbull (2002)

Drawing on Mishima's evocative use of colour in the novel, Turnbull condenses the narrative into a palette, isolating and ordering each of the more than six hundred colours as they appear in the text - what emerges is a visual essay on the nature of translation. Featuring a newly-commissioned narrative remix by novelist Tony White, this book is dual text, English/Japanese.

Spring Snow - A Translation is published in an edition of 1,000, 152 pages, full colour, softback with jacket, 148x105mm, ISBN 1 870699 59 9. Price £12.00.
