The Akutagawa Prize-winning stories from the author of Strange
Weather in Tokyo In these three haunting and lyrical stories, three
young women experience unsettling loss and romance. In a dreamlike
adventure, one woman travels through an apparently unending night
with a porcelain girlfriend, mist-monsters and villainous monkeys;
a sister mourns her invisible brother whom only she can still see,
while the rest of her family welcome his would-be wife into their
home; and an accident with a snake leads a shop girl to discover
the snake-families everyone else seems to be concealing. Sensual,
yearning, and filled with the tricks of memory and grief, Record of
a Night Too Brief is an atmospheric trio of unforgettable tales.
