Talk:Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

message: Rashomon (novel) calls "Rashomon" a novel. Is it a novel, or isn't it? I know the film, and seem to remember reading that it's based on a short story, but don't know anything for sure. --Camembert
:It is a short story (23 pages in the translation I have).Jorge Stolfi 04:43, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: To be precise: the plot of the movie comes from In a Grove, which is 23 pages long. Kurosawa got the movie's title and setting (the ruined Rasho gate in Kyoto), but nothing else, from another short tale, Rashomon.Jorge Stolfi 04:50, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Question: The article says that he uttered Bonyaritoshita fuan on his deathbed, but the account I have says that he just took an overdose of Veronal, went to bed, fell asleep, and when his wife noticed, it was too late - he died half an hour later.  So when were his "last words" uttered?Jorge Stolfi 04:43, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: This article needs English titles for his works.  At the very least, English titles for the works that have been published in English.

thread_title:  Suicide Note 

message: The "Legacy" section begins with "Akutagawa wrote no full-length novels," but his "selected works" directly below includes one novel (Kappa). As I know next to nothing about Akutagawa, I don't want to change anything, but could a knowledgeable editor clarify this matter?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.217.208 (talk) 23:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Novels? 

message: Keene, in Dawn to the West (1984), states that Soseki expressed praise for "The Nose" and not for "Rashomon."  It appears that Akutagawa started attending Soseki's literary circle without encouragement from Soseki, and produced the Nose within a month or two of his first visit.  Soseki then wrote a letter, later published, praising "The Nose".  Since there is no source listed for the claim that Rashomon received Soseki's praise, it would probably be best to follow Keene's chronology.--LUxlii (talk) 02:35, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Suggest removing La fille au chapeau rouge from "Selected works in translation" since it would be more at home on Akutagawa's French Wikipedia page. Krimp Varkey (talk) 15:27, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  La fille au chapeau rouge 

message: Can anyone suggest a good way to do this? I've always found it a bit frustrating that there are so many different translations and/or editions of Akutagawa's work, with so much overlap of stories between them. I think it's nice to know which collections contain which stories, but even so the two sections together seem like a bit much and perhaps could be streamlined a bit. Also, it might be nice for someone with knowledge of Japanese to have a look over the names of the stories, since some of them could potentially be listed twice under differently translated English titles.
