About The Author
Shusaku Endo
Shūsaku Endō (1923-1996) was baptised as a Catholic in childhood, and was one of the first Japanese students to study abroad after the Second World War, spending several of his university years in France. On his return, he immediately found success as a novelist, with works that repeatedly explore the themes of spirituality and the relationship between Japan and the West. A winner of the Akutagawa Prize and recipient of Japan’s Order of Culture, he is remembered as one of the country’s foremost post-war authors. As well as Silence, he is celebrated for the novels Deep River, The Samurai, and The Sea and Poison.
