A review by _pickle_
In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
inspiring
mysterious
sad
fast-paced
5.0
An important essay - both so far as form goes (the afterward in my edition comments on the rather Japanese structure, itself a demonstration of the themes Tanizaki-san writes about) and content. I'll never quite look at the interplay of light and darkness and shadow in the same ways every again.
