Well, here's my initial review... it's a short book containing three novellas by an acclaimed Japanese author that address conflict, literary merit and are even demented, but in a moral way. It's something worth reading if you are not familiar with literature (not historically based) from Japan.

Now for my enlightenment...um... after finishing the book, I get on Goodreads to post a review and see something in the description that I definitely didn't read... I must've missed it because I was on a deadline to get this done for a class, but now I really want to go back and reread it to see if I can catch it.

Someone should read it with me and compare notes.
