In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
4.0

tanizaki was hating on light pollution and western civilization before it was cool!
this is a very pretentious, very outdated, very beautiful, somewhat homoerotic love letter to traditional japanese culture and it gave me a renewed appreciation for simplicity and shadows (surprise!)
