Rashomon and Other Stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

This is less a short story collection and more a series of fables. They were all very quick to read and enjoyable in the moment but will probably not stick with me. If you really like fables or dark fairy tales or Japanese literature then give it a go; otherwise, it’s a pass for me.
