Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Deftly translated by Ryan Choi, these stories and vignettes (plus two short plays) all have radical brevity in common, demonstrating that Akutagawa was an early and prescient master of what we now call "flash" fiction and non-fiction. With a striking economy of means, the author gives us vivid, eccentric, feeling characters, young and elderly, learned and unpolished, urban and rural. Akutagawa's observations and notes a" on dreams, on being impersonated, on mountain towns, winter nights, university life and, poignantly, the Great KantA Earthquake a" are as rich and evocative as his stories, with which they share a mesmerising quality. First published in Japan between 1914 and 1927 (some posthumously), these works have been overlooked in favour of Akutagawa's longer tales, which have formed the basis of his reputation in the West. In translating them, Choi rounds out our understanding of this master stylist.A In Dreams brings together fifty-one works for the first time in English by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story and one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. Deftly translated by Ryan Choi, these stories and vignettes all have radical brevity in common. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
