This is an English-language anthology dedicated to the short stories of Kurahashi Yumiko (1935-), a Japanese novelist of profound intellectual powers.

Her subversive fiction defies established definitions of "literature," "Japan," "modernity" and "femininity," and represents an important intellectual aspect of modern Japanese women's literature.
