Review Summaries
-
Because of the closeness of friendship, the book is read as a biography that conveys aspects of Akutagawa difficult to see from the works alone. Uno's own prose gives the recollections warmth and a distinctive flavor.

絶版なのが惜しい。
思い出を書いていった前半は通俗的な芥川の姿を見ることができて面白く、また後半は文学論を展開し興味深い内容だ。
