Product Description

The New York Times
In the spare, textured prose of these six short stories, [Akutagawa] brings us clear-eyed glimpses of human behavior. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
This generous 18-story collection contains entirely new translations of both well-known classics and rare gems unavailable in the earlier 6-story edition. This Akutagawa (1892-1927) is funnier, more shocking, and more imaginative than ever before in English. The introduction by Haruki Murakami casts a whole new light on modern Japanese fiction--including Murakami's own tantalizing work.
