Rashomon, : and other stories. Translated by Takashi Kojima; introd. by Howard Hibbet. - Tokyo, Rutland, Vt., : C. E. Tuttle Co. , 1952. - 95 p. ; 19 cm.
"There are enough Swiftian touches in Akutagawa to show his hatred of stupidity, greed, hypocrisy, and the rising jingoism of the day. But Akutagawa's artistic integrity kept him from joining his contemporaries in easy social criticism or naive introspection. What he did was to question the values of his society, dramatize the complexities of human psychology, and study, with a Zen taste for paradox, the precarious balance of illusion and reality."
