JamesHackerMP Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've always been fascinated by Japan. I've read halfway through James Clavell's Shogun; I even took a year of Japanese in high school (they only started offering it my last year). I found on Amazon something called Tale of Genji. Has anyone read this before? If yes, is there a particular translation one could recommend as superior to others? There's like a bazillion of them on Amazon. Assuming I rekindle my study of Japanese, I want to read it in English first. Besides which, it does look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHackerMP Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I wonder if the moderators will tolerate a thread on classical literature in addition to this one? If the moderators are listening, maybe they can merge these two threads? I do not want to "clutter up" MLW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
