Hell of Solitude: Selected Writings of Ryunosuke Akutagawa
type: Product
description: Translated by Ryan Choi Hell of Solitude presents a bold and varied selection of writings by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, one of the central figures of twentieth-century Japanese literature. Bringing together fiction, poetry, and philosophical prose - much of it appearing in English for the first time - this collection showcases the range and intensity of Akutagawa's imagination. Translated with sensitivity by Ryan Choi, Hell of Solitude offers a vital reintroduction to a universally resonant and lucid writer. Moving from the whimsical and fantastical to the grave and introspective, the pieces reveal a writer of extraordinary clarity and psychological depth. Interwoven throughout are poems from a prolific body of verse, examples of which are sparse in English, alongside ‘Art and Other Things', a fragmentary essay in which Akutagawa expounds his aesthetic views while drawing on examples from world literature and art.
