    Neat video. I was always under the assumption that The Tale of Genji was the oldest, but I guess I stand corrected. :)

    0:00 Eras are neither common nor uncommon*. They're just sequential.

    have you tried threatening to beat up Cormac McCarthy if he doesn't release The Passenger?

      It was announced like over a month ago. It's two books: 'The Passenger' coming in October, and 'Stella Maris' coming in November.

      I don't believe they had age of consent laws, but interestingly they were critical of large age gaps in relationships in some circumstances. They were also fairly homophobic
