The haunting, extraordinary final lines of The Sea of Fertility, Mishima’s 1000-page voyage through the 20th century. My forthcoming book, Exquisite Nothingness: The Novels of Yukio Mishima, devotes 5 chapters to exploring these dark wonders of Japanese literature. Out September!

A profoundly vague, mysterious exploration on the future of humankind & what makes us human. Under The Eye of The Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami, wonderfully translated by Asa Yoneda was a standout in a scifi realm like no others

It’s been an insane year for literature. Marcia Douglas’ The Jamaica Kollection of the Shante Dream Arkive is one of the most exciting books so far. In league with Keene’s Counternarratives. Intemporal and decolonial. Prods one to live, think, read, and write more radically.

High above Prague, reading bits of The Trial for the umpteenth time. I never tire of returning to Kafka’s work — it is endlessly engaging, always provoking us to find new meanings. Na Zdraví!

Moscow killed Mike Yohansen in 1937 and banned all his books. Never expected Washington to try to kill my translation of Yohansen's best novel in 2025...
Thank you @TsurkanKate @KyivIndependent for covering the attack on @HURI_Harvard's brilliant work (story below).
Publishing literature in translation "doesn't align" with Trump's vision for America. So, Harvard's Ukrainian Research Institute has lost vital federal funding that would have allowed them to bring Ukrainian classics to English readers. Read my latest.

After a tangent to introduce the Rokujō Lady a couple of days back, today's Genji chapter-by-chapter post finally gets around to the events of Chapter 4, 'Yūgao', in which Genji's day in the country with a shy young beauty goes horribly, horribly wrong...
