![]() One soldier, a sergeant, reminds the narrator of his friend, Ko-san. Part I is a bit somber regarding the plot due to its description on the Russo-Japan war in Manchuria, then a key character leads us to a welcome scene for those soldiers who did not fall in the war. ![]() However, I preferred the three-part story, that is, “The Heredity of Taste” in which I could feel more comfortable and hopeful through my reading. Possibly I might be more optimistic after rereading them. I hoped I would enjoy more in reading the second which is mostly dialog-oriented between two characters, I wondered how I could appreciate it more than what I had thought and decided as a nearly unimpressive story. I found reading the first two stories, “Ten Nights of Dream” and “Hearing Things” tedious and vague due to my unfamiliarity with surrealism, especially in the first one. ![]()
