Three works may be listed as marking Nakano Shigeharu's start as a proletarian writer : Shomen; Kozosan no Tegami; and Kangeikai. In these three works may be found the themes of Nakano Shigeharu as a proletarian writer: (1) the ethical demands upon a member of the intelligentsia participating in revolutionary movements; (2) the political demands upon Nakano as a "Fukumo-toist" ; and (3) literary demands emanating from the writer's internal needs. In order to meet these three demands, Nakano adopted the point-of-view of young men. It is dimcult, however, to can this novel a success. This is because Nakano began with the intention of describing the permeation of a group by a left-wing spirit. The youths through whom the action is recounted are all portrayed as belonging to the vanguard, and therefore the literary requirement that the people be given a voice is not fulfilled since the youths'class anger and sorrows go unexpressed. Therefore, the ethical demand that the proletarian writer not remain a spectator of revolutionary struggles is not met in practice.
