Just got this. Have any of you read Ryunosuke Akutagawa?

Which is your favourite story? What can I expect?

>that story which is basically Akutagawa's suicide note

in a grove is better than the movie because it doesn't add the extra pointless perspective at the end that most viewers interpret as the "true" version and instead more clearly leaves things up to the reader's interpretation which is the whole point of the story anyway

I loved the one with the dragon: "An Old Potters Tale", monkey story sucks, the court case with the different accounts of the same happening without a climax felt particularly modern. Read it yourself anon, it's good for casual Sundays.
