From the publisher

Despite its centuries-long tradition of literary and artistic depictions of love between men, around the fin de si�cle Japanese culture began to portray same-sex desire as immoral. Writing the Love of Boys looks at the response to this mindset during the critical era of cultural ferment between the two world wars as a number of Japanese writers challenged the idea of love and desire between men as pathological.
