Overview: Akutagawa's voice is one of the most remarkable in modern Japanese fiction: an acutely intelligent mind, a humiliated soul, engaging as readily with Baudelaire as with Confucius. These narratives and vignettes -- some having received little attention until now -- delicately dovetail ancient myth with modern reflection. Akutagawa combines Eastern sentiment with Western thought to astonishing effect, offering a uniquely moving insight into mental and social fragmentation.This edition contains the following short stories:RashomonThe NoseKesa and MoritoThe Spider's ThreadHell ScreenThe BallTu Tze-chunAutumn MountainIn a GroveThe Faint Smiles of the GodsSan SebastianCogwheelsA Fool's LifeA Note to a Certain Old Friend

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.

A very strong entry. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. Quite impressive overall.

I was completely blown away. It strikes a perfect harmony of dialogue and world-building. Every chapter felt necessary. I am now a lifelong fan of this author.

A decent, if standard, experience. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
