Palm-of-the-Hand Stories by Yasunari Kawabata, translated by Lane Dunlop and J. Martin Holman. Kawabata is a Nobel laureate. This book is all short stories. Really short, 1-3 pages (or less), written throughout his life.

I haven't received my copy yet, but I thought it sounded interesting and I wanted a break from my usual fantasy fare.
