Haunting, but not intentionally
Although, at first sight, her work does not seem to be appealing, it immediately led me to read through these rather haunting stories. Her writing style is quite eloquent and inspiring. Different from other rather self-centered novelists (e.g., Dazai, Mishima, Natsume, etc.), she stays as a objective narrator in her work, and her structiring ability of plot is almost astonishing. Probably she is a natally most talented writer in modern Japan.
