Overview
Spanning 60 years of 20th century Japanese literature, this anthology covers Japan's growth from a more traditional country into a distinctly modern one. Most of these stories had not been previously translated into English, opening up a vast new literary canon to Western readers.

The 14 stories include:
The Fox by Nagai Kafu
Flash Storm by Satomi Ton
One Woman and the War by Sakaguchi Ango
Borneo Diamond by Hayashi Fumiko
Invitation to Suicide by Watanabe Jun'ichi
