En los diez relatos que componen esta colección —Rashomon, La nariz, Gachas de ñame, El destino, Los ladrones, Una vida consagrada a la literatura ligera, El biombo del infierno, Extracto de la tierra yerma, El bonzo Shunkan y En la espesura del bosque— se puede apreciar la habilidad narrativa de Akutagawa, la capacidad para hilvanar historias, par contrastar visiones y de poner de manifiesto las motivaciones y el alma humana en un evento, en un solo suceso.

I couldn't help but envision each story as Kurosawa would film them. simplistic and complex, all at once. a joy to read.

Es entretenido leer algo sin tener idea de qué va y dejarse sorprender. Esta es una breve colección de cuentos que se lee muy rápido. Tenía que leer Rashomon, pero al final los leí todos. Son bastante crudos y reflejan la miseria humana. Además, algunas historias tienen como elemento ese realismo mágico japonés que me está gustando mucho.
