How to Read—and Be Read by— Konjiki yasha
In 1902, a literary journal carried the account of a group of men and women who had gathered to discuss Ozaki Kōyō's Konjiki yasha (The golden demon, 1897–1902). The account—which belongs to a genre known as gappyō , or "joint review"—provides insights into a distinct Meiji mode of reading.

His fiction is filled with portrayals of desire in…
