The Secret History Of The Lord Of Musashi & Arrowroot by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
Two linked novellas probe how desire, narrative and artifice distort lives and history: the first traces a scholarly plot to unmask and exploit the hidden passions of a provincial lord, exposing manipulation, erotic intrigue and the slipperiness of so‑called facts; the second follows a narrator’s obsessive investigation into a young woman’s past in a rural community, an elegiac, ambiguous excavation of memory, longing and the unreliable stories we tell to make sense of people and events.
