In the hands of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, one man's journey to Kappaland becomes the vehicle for a critique of Japanese life and customs in the tradition of Swift and Kafka. A perfectly formed gem from the pen of one of Japan's most important modern writers, this tale is at once a fable, a comedy, and a brilliant satire.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391016992813,"sku":"20264","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_45ad8186-d769-44b5-9f5b-f73cd69e15a4.jpg?v=1787350619","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/kappa","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
