I've not read anything else by Uchida but I think the film mentioned takes a number of stories for it's inspiration, the translator of Rachel DeNitto has written an essay on it - <br /><br />https://www.jstor.org/stable/25064449?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents<br /><br />I've got to sit and watch the film soon!. me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944496306989406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867363623026037617.post-28063296770187479172018-08-03T13:29:28.803+01:002018-08-03T13:29:28.803+01:00Hi!

Actually, I started exploring the life of Uchida because I had watched a film called “Zigeunerweisen“ by Seijun Suzuki which is an adaptation of Uchida‘s Sarasate no ban ie The Disk of Sarate. Since there are no translations available in English or in my mother tongue so I’ve never had the chance to read the original prose. But later I have observed that part of the plot of The Bowler Hat from Realm of Dead share some similarities with the film. I wonder if that is the case!vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950891005917788942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867363623026037617.post-44158539394907467022015-05-01T14:50:01.269+01:002015-05-01T14:50:01.269+01:00Very much enjoyed this book, although if you'r...Very much enjoyed this book, although if you're not a fan of (in places very) short fiction this book might not be the book for you. <br /><br />Finishing this at the moment though prompts me back to reading some more Akutagawa. me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944496306989406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867363623026037617.post-76185291741470985502015-05-01T14:22:58.880+01:002015-05-01T14:22:58.880+01:00I've just picked up from a local second hand b...I've just picked up from a local second hand bookshop "I am a Cat", although based on this write up the pupil's work has a greater degree of interest for me, especially with the mention of Akutagawa in reference to this work@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.com
