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

A very strong entry. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. Quite impressive overall.
