About the author

Seicho 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.

多少带点对女性的恶意。此外很好，准备再试试他的长篇。

Quite nice book to read. The book contains a collection of short stories which were written by one of the most famous authors in Japan, Seicho Matsumoto, and I am sure you can fully enjoy his skill as a writer throughout the book. Moreover, while the author is mostly known as his excellent mystery stories, the book also contains many serious stories which describe a deep theme like weakness of human etc. In this sense, you may even read this book as a pure literature, and I would strongly recommend this book if you are looking for those kinds of book.

选取的大部分短篇都好看。有的文其实文学性大于推理性，很多桥段在今天来看已经可以早猜到，但是仍然是好看的故事，能引起共情的故事。这也是社会派推理注重的吧，不是为出其不意的反转，而是借推理剥开社会问题。和他的一些后来者相比，松本清张的文笔和叙事的文学性绝对是令他的故事不会过时的一大因素。这个选集里最喜欢的是后面坏女人和男人的那几篇，日本黑雾二二六那篇非推理一般，只是陈列资料，一目十行地跳过了。接着想看他的《点与线》和《砂器》了。

松本清張は格キャラクタを赤裸々に極限まで追いやる。極端で行き詰ったどころで、素っ裸になった人間普遍の情念と直面させる。まさに赤裸々の美学。松本清張は残酷に素晴しい作家なのだ。

《西乡纸币》居然是处女作，令人吃惊。
