Echoes of his judgments and values are everywhere present in modern Japanese literary discourse. Indeed, his impact on later criticism is such that writing \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e Kobayashi has become something of a rite of passage for Japanese critics aspiring to literary leadership. This book is a collection of the most significant and enduring works from the period when Kobayashi established himself as Japan's preeminent literary critic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnderer has now given readers of English the opportunity to form their own conclusions [about Kobayashi].
