But that was written by Royall Tyler

Stilled pissed about Yoko.

>implying translating is actually writing

it's literally just copying the original text and pasting it into a different language

zero effort outside of minor grammar changes

The japanese Quixote

>it's another "female author only knows how to write about their own inane social life" episode
Every single time. Every single celebrated female author I've ever read. Bonus points for:
>Character is an obvious self insert
>Entire novel takes place in a beach house
>All the characters are upper class; lower class people are portrayed as crass, pitiful simpletons
>Female character commits adultery
>Male husband is obsessed with his work
>Female character neglects her children
>The entire thing is about different upper class socialites having romances and what not, book version of a telenovela

...

>who is Veeky Forums's girl, flanflan oconnor

Tale of genji is pretty garbage though

>>Character is an obvious self insert
maybe one of the women but the main character who the entire novel revolves around is a guy so in general nope
>>Entire novel takes place in a beach house
nope, there are palaces, countryside, mountains, oceans etc.
>>All the characters are upper class; lower class people are portrayed as crass, pitiful simpletons
nope, Genji actually at one point falls in love with a lower-class country girl and has her move in with him
>>Female character commits adultery
EVERYONE commits adultery in this book, especially Genji
>>Male husband is obsessed with his work
nope, Genji doesn't even really have a job besides court duty and that's hardly even mentioned, the book is all about his various love affairs
>>Female character neglects her children
not really, and male characters neglect their children in this book
>>The entire thing is about different upper class socialites having romances and what not, book version of a telenovela
I mean yeah but why is that a bad thing? The book gives interesting insight into what life was like several centuries ago. television obviously didn't even exist back then.

why do you say that? I'm finding it to be great.

Who the fuck cares. I was mostly right

go back to r9k froggyman

Translating kanji to english is useless.

lol OUCH

faggots I've been here since before you cucked board even existed

Don't bother about their garbage opinions. At least someone here has read the work instead of the Sparknotes™ summary

you literally weren't even close.

Maybe goodreads is more up to your spead

Didn't Genji's son cuckold Genji?

Women cant writhe?

if women can write why does this thread suck so much and all such threads attract bottom feeding scum

there is no sparknotes summary for this book

not an argument
