6 / 10

Kenji Miyazawa’s *Night Train to the Stars and Other Stories* is a very different collection of short stories compared to those I’ve read in recent years. These fairy-tale-like stories, deeply rooted in nature, may not be easy to grasp with a Western mindset. I, for my part, let go and simply went with the flow. I immersed myself in a different era and different landscapes and culture. The stories didn’t have didactic or obvious conclusions, and although I would generally consider the collection aimed at adults, it would be fascinating to see how a child’s mind experiences these stories.
