The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories by Jay Rubin

The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories by Jay Rubin

If you came to Japanese fiction through Murakami and want to know what he came from, this is the volume.

Edited by Murakami's own translator and introduced by Murakami himself, it gathers over thirty stories across a century — Akutagawa, Tanizaki, Kawabata, Mishima, Yoshimoto and many writers who have never appeared in English before.

Arranged by theme rather than date. The best single-volume introduction to modern Japanese literature.
