When he died at the age of thirty-one, Kajii Motojir had written only twenty short stories. Yet his life and work, it is argued here, sheds light on a significant moment in Japanese history and, ultimately, adds to our understanding of how modern Japanese identity developed. This is the first full-length book devoted to Kajii Motojir. It brings together translations of nearly all his completed stories with an analysis of his literature in the context of major themes that locate him in 1920s Japan.
