5.0 out of 5 stars Besdt book of short stories, July 30, 2011
This review is from: Lou-LAN and Other Stories (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works: European) (Paperback)
This is my favorite book of short stories of all time. The dark side of time-honored Japanese virtues are masterly dealt with. The vertigo that often underpins serenity and the futile attempt to hide human vulnerability behind blind devotion to work or religion have never received -- and I suspect will never again receive -- such superior literary treatment. Yasuchi Inoue is the greatest of Japanese writers, more than Kawabata, more than Oe, more than Mushima. Don't miss it.
