一人の芭蕉の問題

A short piece by Ranpo talking about his friend/colleague's writing, what makes a detective novel versus what makes literature, and so on. This should be read with the knowledge that Ranpo is a famous detective novel writer, of the fast paced and thrilling sort. I probably enjoyed this more because I'm a fan of 乱歩.

Despite being a post war piece of writing, there is extensive use of old/archaic kanji as well as old kana usage.
