This + Sailor Who Fell From Grace + Woman in the Dunes

Can anyone recommend any more Japanese lit for someone who loves Mishima, Kobo Abe, Beckett, Borges, Faulkner, McCarthy...

Yet to buy into Murikami's appeal despite being a big fan of Kafka and Lynch's work

Edogawa Rampo (amazing crime fiction)


Junichiro Tanizaki, his In Black And White just had a retranslation published a few weeks ago, also a crime story even though he's more famous for Makioka Sisters (East vs. West explored in a family's history) and In Praise Of Shadows (essay)

Perhaps Dazai's No Longer Human?
