NOTE: In re-reading the last stories in the Akutagawa book for your final story, I decided that the last stories (written when he was battling depression and other ailments) aren't the best way to conclude this section. I think our last two stories, "Horse Legs" and "The Story of a Head That Fell Off" are actually the best introductions to our next book, V.S. Naipaul's The Mystic Masseur. So why not stop right where we are?
Instead, I have another idea for Wednesday's class, which will involve no reading. So if you're behind, or didn't turn in Monday's questions, I'll give you until Wednesday to do so. We'll use the Akutagawa stories soon enough!
See you on Wednesday...
