Ghosts of the Past

I hadn't heard of Teru Miyamoto before reading this collection, but he is a well-known (and popular) writer back in Japan, one who won the Akutagawa Prize. 'Phantom Lights' is a nice introduction to his work, consisting of eight stories written mostly in the 1980s, many of which are fairly autobiographical.
The title story is probably my favourite, mainly because it takes a step away from the author-centred focus of some of the other stories, casting a woman as the central character and spreading the action over a longer story (which leads me to think that Miyamoto's longer work might be worth checking out). The translation is generally good, although it's a shame the translator didn't try to tackle the (admittedly tricky) job of bringing across the flavour of the stories' Kansai (western Japan) setting.
An added bonus in this collection is a great introduction by the translator, giving background information about the writer and a brief commentary on some of the stories - something I'd like to see in more works of translated fiction :)
