Rashomon and Other Stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

4.0

consider this rating a 4.5, with the half off because i didn’t really enjoy “the dragon” as much as the other stories. that being said, WHEW akutagawa was talented. the writing style was so descriptive and beautiful, something sorely lacking from a lot of modern literature. my favorite stories from this collection were “rashōmon,” “yam gruel,” and “kesa and moritou.”
