Diary of a Mad Old Man by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
3.0
Erotic thriller, as what the mad old man says. How interesting to read about an old man and his obsession (which soon written in Nurse Sasaki's report as abnormal sexual impulses). Wicked and madness, bizarrely amusing at a point. Loving the writing style-- though few boring details, but quite entertaining.
Towards the end the diary leaving me with a bit of sore heart-- reading about Utsugi journey to prepare on his own grave and burial-- with still, a bit of his crazy sexual intimacy in between.
Classic and psychological enthralling. Second book from Tanizaki I have read so far (and both on 'obsession' issue). Quite fascinating.
