A "lazy, good-for-nothing, weak-willed" man's love in his cat, and his ex-wife, calculating and cunning, changed her hatred t0 the cat to love. The relationship among the those humans are much more complicated.A very nice story!
The second story is what was described in Tanizaki's Childhood Years.
Translated by Paul McCarthy. Published by Konansha International, Tokyo, 1990. Hardcover. ISBN 0870117556.
From the same publisher, and only two years after Childhood Years, this book uses low-quality paper and binding. Is it because the big inflation just started in Japan?
It looks like I read all the works of Tanizaki, available in English. (I read his The Makioka Sisters in Chinese.)
