The leading edge of Japanese fiction can be found in short stories first published in the 1960s, an unfinished novel left incomplete by its author’s suicide in 1972, and a novella from the turn of the 20th Century. Three works of historical importance that are also breathtaking in their freshness: revelatory, subversive, and vigorously alive to the possibilities of both human experience and fiction’s ability to make us strange to ourselves.
