The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories

A major anthology of great Japanese short stories introduced by Haruki MurakamiThis is a celebration of the Japanese short story from its modern origins in the nineteenth century to remarkable contemporary works. It includes the most well-known Japanese writers – Akutagawa, Murakami, Mishima, Kawabata – but also many surprising new pieces, from Yuko Tsushima`s `Flames` to Banana Yoshimoto`s `Bee Honey`. Ranging over myth, horror, love, nature, modern life, a diabolical painting, a cow with a human face and a woman who turns into sugar, `The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories` is filled with fear, charm, beauty and comedy.Edited by Jay Rubin with an introduction by Haruki Murakami
