About the author
Seichō Matsumoto
593 books672 followersSeicho Matsumoto (松本清張, Matsumoto Seichō), December 21, 1909 – August 4, 1992) was a Japanese writer.
Matsumoto's works created a new tradition of Japanese crime fiction. Dispensing with formulaic plot devices such as puzzles, Matsumoto incorporated elements of human psychology and ordinary life into his crime fiction. In particular, his works often reflect a wider social context and postwar nihilism that expanded the scope and further darkened the atmosphere of the genre. His exposé of corruption among police officials as well as criminals was a new addition to the field. The subject of investigation was not just the crime but also the society in which the crime was committed.
The self-educated Matsumoto did not see his first book in print until he was in his forties. He was a prolific author, he wrote until his death in 1992, producing in four decades more than 450 works. Matsumoto's mystery and detective fiction solidified his reputation as a writer at home and abroad. He wrote historical novels and nonfiction in addition to mystery/detective fiction.
He was awarded the Akutagawa Prize in 1952 and the Kikuchi Kan Prize in 1970, as well as the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in 1957. He chaired the president of Mystery Writers of Japan from 1963 to 1971.
Credited with popularizing the genre among readers in his country, Matsumoto became his nation's best-selling and highest earning author in the 1960s. His most acclaimed detective novels, including Ten to sen (1958; Points and Lines, 1970); Suna no utsuwa (1961; Inspector Imanishi Investigates, 1989) and Kiri no hata (1961; Pro Bono, 2012), have been translated into a number of languages, including English.
He collaborated with film director Yoshitarō Nomura on adaptations of eight of his novels to film, including Castle of Sand.

Some of the stories are great and some aren't so outstanding, but I especially enjoy a story called 'A Smile At the Wedding' for I like how betrayal and unfaithfulness can be exposed by the bride's smile and a female guest's recalling her experience in one spring time.
It is a re-read and many of the short stories are still enjoyable. Crime, human nature (e.g. greed, lust and ambition) and social issues are the key points of the stories.
I like the blackmail story in "The Mountains".
"The Accomplice", another story about blackmailing and suspicion, has a surprising ending.
"The Empty Design" brilliantly describes the struggle and conflict of two groups of workers within a local newspaper office: should a newspaper stay true to journalism or should it bend its knees to the interest of advertainment and marketing? That is a question that we still need to think about to these days. But I like how there is no black and white morals in the story, in the end everyone is just serving and protecting their own interests.

August 23, 2023不喜欢的还是轻松顺利的推理过程，不管是警察还是普通人。但短篇题材更丰富，这点也可以忍受，其他都很好。
