4.0 out of 5 stars Tanizaki two Favorite Novellas, April 21, 2010

This review is from: The Secret History of the Lord of Musashi (Hardcover)

This books contains two novellas by Junichiro Tanizaki and translated by Anthony Chambers. Tanizaki wrote these in 1930 and they are suppose to be his favorite.

The Secret History of the Lord of Musashi is filled with scandal. The subject is of a great lord whose sexual fixations includes a sick obsession in severed heads, especially those without noses. This is more of a horror story of old.

Arrowroot is meditative, poetic, it describes the journey of two friends traveling together. One is looking for information about a lost imperial court from the 15th century, the other is trying to understand his dead mother.
