A major new anthology of great Japanese short stories introduced by
Haruki Murakami This fantastically varied and exciting collection
celebrates the great Japanese short story, from its modern origins
in the nineteenth century to the remarkable examples being written
today. Curated by Jay Rubin (who has himself freshly translated
several of the stories) and introduced by Haruki Murakami, this is
a book which will be a revelation to many of its readers. Short
story writers already well-known to English-language readers are
all included - Tanizaki, Akutagawa, Murakami, Mishima, Kawabata -
but also many surprising new finds. From Yuko Tsushima's 'Flames'
to Yuten Sawanishi's 'Filling Up with Sugar', from Shin'ichi
Hoshi's 'Shoulder-Top Secretary' to Banana Yoshimoto's 'Bee Honey',
The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories is filled with fear,
charm, beauty and comedy.
