Born in 1935, Takashi Atoda became one of the most important Japanese writers of his generation. He published over forty short story collections and garnered several literary prizes. And yet his name is little known outside of Japan. Perhaps one reason why Atoda has not gained an international following is that his writings are very Japanese. The eleven short stories that comprise this collection are intensely lyrical, balancing realistic details with subtle symbolism. They demonstrate a staggering sensitivity towards nature and human relationships; and in the realm of emotions the author prefers to understate rather than describe. I have given the book five stars not because I liked all of the stories (I didn’t) but because the stories have continued to haunt me over the years. That I cannot shake them off confirms what I suspected all along: Takashi Atoda is a master of the short story. Takashi Atoda’s stories are imbued with a nostalgia that becomes addictive with each successive reading; a nostalgia bordering on sadness at the impermanence of all things. Often in his stories the past seems to overwhelm the present, and this is achieved by means of flashback as a narrative technique. Now, the flashback device can be a powerful narrative tool, but it can just as easily turn against its user. I have never known a short story writer who used this technique as often as Takashi Atoda without falling into sentimentality. And another notable characteristic of his stories is the way that fantasy and mystery gradually weave their way into everyday events. Often at the end of an Atoda story one is forced to admit that reality has been ruptured, but it is hard to say exactly when one slipped into a dream. But there is one other characteristic of Atoda’s stories that deserves special mention, and it is that objects are as important as persons. In the story “The Mongolian Spot”, Ryosuke, while preparing for his mother’s funeral, discovers a purple pouch with a dagger. But the knife survives cremation and falls to the floor with a resolute clatter. In “The Destiny of Shoes”, the young woman Ayako discovers (too late) that the beautiful blue Casadeis shoes she has been wearing have a will of their own; and it is their will that she should squander her youth on a married man. In “Night Flight”, Nishiwaki is visited every night by the perfume that his lover, now deceased, used to wear. And in “The Square Persimmon” a teacake and falling leaves evoke a mysterious presence from the past. I cannot guarantee that you will like all of the stories in this collection. But I can promise that each and every story has been beautifully crafted, and that two or three of these gems will linger in your memory for a long time to come.

Read this in gradeschool for the sex. I remember not knowing what "coming" was but knowing that those were the parts people had dog-eared. Scandalous.

What and incredible anthology. Both the novellas in this were fantastic. This began my love for the paranormal romance and started me reading both Christine Feehan and Marjorie Liu's work. I can't say enough good things about either of these stories. I will not part with this book and am putting it on my ereader as well.

OK, it was free on Kindle and I was waiting for appointments and unable to get into re-reading Jane Eyre in the noisy waiting room and wanted something light, fun and mindless. Good plot idea and a few fun moments but I have to say I am glad I didn't pay for this one.

I got really bored and really tired of the story. Yea, I know it's real, and it's someone's life, but he went on Oprah to promote it, so I'm thinking he's doing ok without my hocking his wares.

Great book! I could totally see her spinning another Rin story off of this. I loved the book in the aspect that it was her path to self discovery, but there was almost too much "woman power" to it. Not enough romance and mystery. Still a great read. Shannon never fails!

Hope, the head of HR at her company, comes in to work feeling like she's been hit by a bus and finds that her company is in a panic. Production problems combined with snarky bloggers have made national news. For almost a year, she's been wallowing in self-pity and misery because of personal problems, but with her company now in crisis mode, her CEO tells her she needs to step-up. She struggles to find answers to the problems she and her company face. I downloaded this as an audiobook from Audible.com. The author read it. He sounded like he had a slight cold, but otherwise it was a good audio. I decided to read this after reading the Energy Bus. Students and teachers can fall into a habit of complaining, and I definitely do, so I was curious to see what this book would have to say about complaining that might help me overcome that bad habit. It was a little too lightweight for me, but that might have been because I just finished the Energy Bus a few days back. I still gave this four stars, because I liked what it had to say, and I think it would be easy to implement if you wanted to adopt it into a group setting.

Bu serires'i ilk okuduğumda - aslında yaratıkların varlığına inanıyordum - elfler, cüceler, hobiler, ormanlar, büyü, macera ... Ahhh .. bu en iyi fantezi. Benim için bundan daha iyisi olamaz. İnanılmaz serisi. Tolkien, gemisinde bir usta ve söylemeliyim ki, sizi hayal gücüyle büyüleyecek. Kesinlikle heyecan verici benim için okuyun ...
