Realm of the Dead by Uchida Hyakken

infinimata's review

3.0

Three stars not for the literary quality but as a reflection that this will be difficult going for anyone not familiar with the underlying references or the tenor of the times Hyakken Uchida was writing from. I'd like to see more of his work in English, especially after watching the film "Zigeunerweisen", which was based on one of his stories.

I borrowed this from the library thinking it would be a weird-ass book judging by its name. Not gonna lie, some of the stories were, and I very much enjoyed them; they were really weird and interesting like I was expecting. But the rest, well, I didn't get anything. Maybe they were simply bad? Or was it because I don't know much about Japanese culture? Probably the latter.
