But there is laughter here too, as in “Tengu,” a tongue-in-cheek critique of august hucksters of haiku. And there is also suspense on display: “A Bluff Illusion” presents a literary murder story in which a harmless prank escalates into a deadly pose. “A Warning on Worldly Pleasures” retells Saikaku’s famous story about the temptation of a holy ascetic, and “A: Autumn” unfolds a quiver of epigrams (seemingly) drawn at random from the author’s notes.
