Tanizaki Jun'ichiro (1886â1965), the author of Naomi; A Cat, a Man, and Two Women; and The Makioka Sisters, was one of the great writers of the twentieth century. The four stories in this volume date from the first and second decades of Tanizakiâs long career and reflect themes that appear throughout his work: exoticism, sexuality, sadomasochism, contrasts between traditional and modern societies, disparities between appearance and reality, the power of dreams, amorality, an interest in cinema, and a fascination with the techniques of storytelling. The storiesâtranslated into English here for the first timeâare: âThe Strange Case of Tomoda and Matsunagaâ (âTomoda to Matsunaga no hanashi,â 1926), âA Night in Qinhuaiâ (âShinwai no yo,â 1919), âThe Magicianâ (âMajutsushi,â 1917), and âRed Roofsâ (âAkai yane,â 1925).
