Review: Rashōmon and Seventeen Other Stories

Rashōmon and Seventeen Other Stories Rashōmon and Seventeen Other Stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An excellent collection of interesting stories, almost all of them with a unique and/or whimsical twist or angle.

My favorites were "Rashomon", "The Story of a Head that Fell off" and "Green Onions". But this was purely personal taste.

The last one was haunting, although I'm not sure I understood it entirely.

He is now one of my favorite authors.
