Book Synopsis
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's In Black and White is a literary murder mystery in which the lines between fiction and reality are blurred. The writer Mizuno has penned a story about the perfect murder that comes to intrude on his life. In Black and White is a masterful yet little-known novel from a great writer at the height of his powers.

Trade Review
In Black and White is a playful, parodic whodunit and a welcome addition to the extensive body of English translations of works by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki. -- Dennis Washburn, Jane and Raphael Bernstein Professor in Asian Studies, Dartmouth College
