Originally published as *Garusudo no Uchi* in daily serialization in the Asahi newspaper in 1915, before appearing in book form, this is the first time *Inside My Glass Doors* has been published in English. It is a moving literary reminiscence, a collection of thirty-nine autobiographical essays penned a year before the author’s death. Written in the genre of shohin (little items), the personal vignettes provide a kaleidoscopic view of *Natsume Soseki’s* private world and shed light on his concerns as a novelist. Readers are at once ushered into Soseki’s book-lined study, in his residence in Kikui-cho, as he muses on his present situation and reflects on the past. The story is filled with flashbacks to Soseki’s youth-his classmates, his family, and his old neighborhood-as well as episodes from the more recent past, all related in considerable detail. There are his characteristic ruminations about his physical well-being, and from the quiet spaces inside the glass doors of his study, he also calmly observes the clamorous state of the world outside. The essays in this book, crafted with extraordinary subtlety and psychological depth, reflect the work of a great author at the height of his powers.
