The best Kawabata book I've read. What a pleasure to ramble about! My copy was englished by Edward G. Seidensticker. As always, excuse my mistakes. Peace and groovy.
@@idgitreadsandrambles7090 sure. i'm dedicating full month to read japanese literature. i've already read no longer human and i was looking for my next read.
@@siwar-vw2cr great! What else are you gonna go for soon enough? I've gone on to Mishima's Sea of Fertility tetralogy since finishing Mountain and it's going well.
@@idgitreadsandrambles7090 i have no idea what's next. gonna start the sound of the mountain as soon as i get my copy and then i'll see. for mishima, i started reading the sailor who fell from grace with the sea but i DNF it. i guess i wasn't in the mood. i'll wait for your review.
Reading this now.
Also one of my favourite books, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on it. Great to find a fellow Kawabata enthusiast
No problem - my pleasure! Loved this thing. What are your other favourites from Kawabata?
@@idgitreadsandrambles7090 He’s so consistent, all of them are good. Thousand Cranes and Dandelions are highlights for me
Sounds great 👍 can't wait to read this one thanks for the Rec.
Oh, no problem! Hope you dig it. Definitely stop by to let me know how you feel about it. On first read it baffled me!
