Favourite Japanese Literature?

...

Hagakure.

Heike Monogatari

naruto

the tale of ching chong hong wong and his fried rice

Seriously? Please get the fuck out of here.

Norwegian Wood is pretty good, i like “feelsy” books

Someone has yellow fewer. Btw, will my dick be considered average if I go to Japan?

Manga is literature

The four great haijins (Basho, Issa, Shiki, Buson, in no particular order).

battle royal is the only one

NANJING IS REAL

Silence

Manga is manga
Stop associating literature with "good" and comics with "pleb"

Akutagawa and Mishima are my favorite

Watched the movie on this one
Is the book worth my time if I already watched it?

Only read Mango and old japanese myths and urban legends.
Berserk is pretty great.

Thoughts on this book?
I know /a/ is crazy about the show

I read the book after watching the movie gobbled it up pretty fast, its different enough to commit to it

There's something else to add to my backlog

true

not really, but it's dope anyway

Loved the show but the book is not good.

where can i pirate nip books in moonspeak

...

no

Does visual novels count?

Not when it's the garbage that is Chiru

This + Sailor Who Fell From Grace + Woman in the Dunes

Can anyone recommend any more Japanese lit for someone who loves Mishima, Kobo Abe, Beckett, Borges, Faulkner, McCarthy...

Yet to buy into Murikami's appeal despite being a big fan of Kafka and Lynch's work

My favourite so far

Kenji Nakagami

Edogawa Rampo (amazing crime fiction)


Junichiro Tanizaki, his In Black And White just had a retranslation published a few weeks ago, also a crime story even though he's more famous for Makioka Sisters (East vs. West explored in a family's history) and In Praise Of Shadows (essay)

Perhaps Dazai's No Longer Human?

>translation

well then read it in the original, I don't care

Thanks for the responses guys I'll check them out, am familiar with Tanizaki but not that particular work. Appreciate it

So none of his work has been translated?

ignore was being stupid
