so far, this is incredible! the concept of having your whole world policed by people who determine what’s acceptable is so dystopian, but yet slightly a little too close to home. every now and then items, animals and even people vanish, but the interesting twist is how the memory police ensure all evidence of their existence is gone too. if you’re someone who remembers these lost relics then you too will vanish

jesus… this took one hell of a turn. this is the starkest change in a story i’ve ever read, but my god, is it good. this went from a 2 to a 5 star FASTTTT. hoping it keeps this momentum because my heart is racing

i feel as if someone saw what books i read without actually knowing me they’d be pretty concerned. i feel as if people who know me are concerned, too. i find comfort in the literature of history’s most depressed

need to write more haha. the bamboo story depicts a murder and several different testimonies, even ending with the truth from a spiritual confession by the deceased. i’m impressed just how invested i became for such a short story. i’m excited to continue reading

i’m only on page 20 but yet i’ve finished two short stories, that of rashōmon and in the bamboo grove. colour me thoroughly impressed so far!! these collections of stories may be short, but wow does he paint such a vivid picture that evokes intense emotion!!

rashōmon is a 4/5 for me. it’s literally just a few pages. but it’s so unique in the perception of evil vs survival.

in the bamboo grove is 5/5. wow

reading books in the name of the moon
