Críticas
The outstanding Japanese novelist of this century.--Edmund White
Tanizaki was a great writer. He understood the fetish-making fecundity of love, and the satisfactions it offers even while giving pain, and its perverse, inverse accountings.--John Updike
Tanizaki is one of my favorites. His books are about love and very often perverse aspects of love.--Henry Miller
It is no bad thing to be reminded from time to time that Jun'ichiro Tanizaki's remarkably fresh and intimate voice is speaking to us across a gulf of years and cultures.--Edmund Gordon"They Couldn't Cover Up" (08/18/2017)
An absorbing read...quite likely you'll gulp it all down in a single sitting.--Tony Malone
Tanizaki laminates a murder mystery and psychological study onto a rumination about the nature of fiction itself.--Devils in Daylight
Reseña del editor
One morning, Takahashi, a writer who has just stayed up all night working, is interrupted by a phone call from his old friend Sonomura: barely able to contain his excitement, Sonomura claims that he has cracked a secret cryptographic code based on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Gold-Bug and now knows exactly when and where a murder will take place—and they must hurry if they want to witness the murder, because it’s later that very night! Sonomura has a history of lunacy and playing the amateur detective, so Takahashi is of course reluctant to believe him. Nevertheless, they stake out the secret location, and through tiny peepholes in the knotted wood, become voyeurs at the scene of a shocking crime...Atmospheric, erotic, and tense, Devils in Daylight is an early work by the master storyteller who “created a lifelong series of ingenious variations on a dominant theme: the power of love to energize and destroy” (Chicago Tribune).
