The stories selected for this collection include the author's novella "A View by the Sea", which was awarded both the Mombusho and Noma literary prizes. Five other short stories represent the best of Yasuoka's writing from the 1950s and 1960s.
"Yasuoka s venal, youthful first-person narrators grasp at beauty and romance amid a changing Japan in these nine stories, all published in Japan in the early 1950s . . . Tyler s translation captures Yasuoka s effortless style, registering dark but delightful impressions of youth." Publishers Weekly
