3 captivating short stories by one of Japan's most prominent 20th-century writers, showcasing his characteristic blend of the erotic and the sinister.
"Sexuality and dominance are never far below the surface of Tanizaki's stories." -- The New York Times
In this thrilling collection, celebrated Japanese writer Jun'ichirō Tanizaki explores the paper-thin line between the sublime and the depraved. Meticulous and sensual, the 3 stories gathered here distill the essence of Tanizaki's shorter fiction: the commingling of Japanese and Chinese mythologies, and the examinaton of the dark side of desire.
This gorgeous new translation by Bryan Karetnyk features two stories never previously translated into English, and one restored to print in English after nearly a century. The book also includes an introduction by the translator, placing Tanizaki's unparalleled contribution to Japanese literature in context.
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki (1886-1965) is widely considered one of Japan's most important writers. Born in Tokyo to a family of printers, he began his literary career in 1909 and published numerous plays, essays, novels and short stories. His writing is characterised by ironic wit, subtle interpersonal dynamics and charged depictions of sexuality and cultural identity. The Tanizaki Prize, one of Japan's most prestigious awards, is named in his honour.
Bryan Karetnyk is a British writer and translator from Russian and Japanese. His translations for Pushkin Press include works by Gaito Gazdanov, Irina Odoevsteva and Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
