🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
Classic Seicho Matsumono, tangled up men and women, money, man's pride, all the good stuff in these 4 short stories.

He always brings in some new phenomenon that's happening in Japan to his stories. True. Like a posh trip to a remote island, so 60s.
His stories takes you to "somewhere not here", like the trip, or a day out on a yacht. 
It might not as "fancy" as it was in the 1960s, but you can still feel that excitement.
His books never miss.
