The selections reflect the wide range of Kobayashi's early work, from meditations on the nature of literature and of criticism to studies of individual Japanese and Western writers.

Trade Review
"Anderer has now given readers of English the opportunity to form their own conclusions [about Kobayashi, Japan's preeminent literary critic]. This is no mean feat . . . and for it he deserves much gratitude. . . . Given the difficulties of Kobayashi's style . . . translation is a paramount issue. Anderer has risen to the occasion admirably."—Monumenta Nipponica
"By making these widely read and often quoted essays available in English, Anderer has provided a valuable service."—Japan Quarterly
