It kept me interested and had meaning behind everyword. It made understanding easier seeing it from the Pilgrim's point of view.
i picked this up in hopes that it would be frenzied and feverish (tanizaki, after all, is the "japanese henry miller," though i feel he's missing miller's anarchic sense here - and part of that may be a cultural thing), but after about 90 solid pages it just sort of settles into a literary soap opera. i'd like to read some more tanizaki to see if it's just the bent of this particular book that didn't make the impression of him i wanted.
