Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This collection features a brilliant new translation of the Japanese master's stories with an introduction by Haruki Murakami. Akutagawas disturbing tales of human passion capture the cultural upheaval of early twentieth century Japan, ranging from “In the Grove,” the basis of Kurosawas famous film Rashomon, to Akutagawas later, more autobiographical writings.

A terrific writer who deserves to be better known in the west. My favorites were 'In a Bamboo Grove' (the actual inspiration for Kurosawa's film, not the title story), 'Hell Screen', and 'Life of A Stupid Man'. The last one, written shortly before his suicide, is one of the most beautiful and harrowing stories I have ever read.
