to be her normal complexion But that might be interpreted as the physiological effect of the strong autumn sunlight falling directly upon her Such was Tsuda s thought as he shifted his gaze away from

passion and a gallon or two of mixed spirits head to head over a table and hissing like snakes in the Gaelic tang song bob and tomThere are other extrapolations but none clarifies or deepens significantly the vision that S seki has already conjured: the unlikelihood of an escape from the prison of vanity and self interest into the light of liberating self knowledge Among the writers who have essayed to conclude the novel with a full length sequel there have been four published attempts25only Mizumura Minae has conveyed the pessimism that is S seki s primary color HerLight and Dark the Sequel (Zoku Meian 1990) begins boldly with the final installment ofLight and Dark and develops the game of cat and mouse that S seki initiated At moments Kiyoko appears on the verge of lowering her defenses; she even declares provocatively I m afraid of what will happen if I stay here Eventually Tsuda badgers her into divulging an explanation for having turned away from him: When all is said and done I can t trust you she obliges For example here you are you came all this way I can t help wondering if I might have been betrayed in this same way if we d gotten together 26 Coming from the woman who inhabits his dreams this unsparing put down might have withered Tsuda with chagrin for he is guilty as charged of betraying his wife But as always he is insulated against humiliation by his own self regard and feels only anger Just then O Nobu arrives but there is no confrontation between the women only a moment of breathtaking awkwardness Kiyoko returns to the inn with a softFarewell and the couple is left alone to suffer in silence Thus Mizumura s sequel concludes on a note that seems congruent with S seki s intent: difficult lessons have not been learned and the way ahead is no clearer than it ever wastang song bob and tomDaddy Daddy Bobby s here!tang song bob and tomTsuda was a little embarrassedtang song bob and tomYe think I dinna feel that he asked quietly tang song bob
