You're ...Yeah, I really rate him, to be honest. You're probably right about how people find out about him, but he's significant in his own right, I think.<br /><br />This won the Akutagawa Prize, which is actually fairly major as far as I'm aware. In fairness I doubt most English speaking readers would have heard of it, so I can see why not naming would make sense.
