About This Novel
"Crazy Love" is the representative work of Junichiro Tanizaki, a master of Japanese aesthetic literature. It tells the story of a working-class man, Rangji, who falls in love with Naomi, a bartender, and wants to train her to become a noble woman and become his wife. However, Naomi is vain, conceited, romantic, and hides a conspiracy under her innocent appearance. Rangji is seduced by her charming appearance and meets her needs at all costs. In the end, she is trained to become her servant and is at her mercy. The novel shows the exchange of love between men and women during training and counter-training, and is an immortal literary classic that has long been hailed as the "Oriental version of "Lolita"". This book also includes Junichiro Tanizaki's short story "Tattoo" with a demonic style and the novella "Shuncho" that pursues ultimate aestheticism.
