A review by vsbedford
The Stationmaster by Jirō Asada

3.0

Stark and concisely written (and translated) - and capable of evoking a mood or memory in that snapshot way that only short stories can. This collection, for me, especially feels like seeing into someone's lighted window for a brief moment when your train passes by. My only drawback, although this was a big one for me, was the overall bleakness of each of these worlds. Beautiful but a serious downer.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
