Resenhas

This is a book of two novellas that both depict the milieu and life of prostitutes in the old Tokyo. During the Rains is a very fine piece indeed and it contains some exquisite writing, however, the ending seems a tad tawdry with a shock and jolt that is out of place. Almost a masterpiece. Flowers in the Shade is undoubtedly the lesser work of the two, quite good nevertheless.
