RKS Literature: The Unreal of Wasted Effort (Yasunari Kawabata)

“Though he was an idler who might as well spend his time in the mountains as anywhere, he looked upon mountain climbing as almost a model of wasted effort. For that reason it pulled at him with the attraction of the unreal.”

Yasunari Kawabata, “Snow Country”, 1956
