Anyone got recommendations for great Japanese literature?

Anyone got recommendations for great Japanese literature?

I haven't read much of it. "the river with no bridge"(1900) by sue sumii was an enjoyable read if you're into historical fiction, but it ended with a communist rant.

C'mon

Osamu dazai, no longer human

The wiki has some good shit

Kokoro, Botchan, and Sanshiro by Soseki are all really good.

Osamu Dazai, Yukio Mishima

There are too many untranslated Japanese books and that irritates me.

all the ones on the top 100 are really good

Remote control, Isaka Koutaro

Haruki Murakami

>not great
>japanese in only the most superficial sense
>barely literature

Kobe Abe - Secret Rendezvous
Haruki Murakami - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles
Mishima - The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
Kawabata - Snow Country

should give a pretty good overview of it's various styles

shit i forgot No Longer Human, cracker of a novel

also fuck the Murakami hate on this board, he's second only to Kawabata in my estimation desu senpai

He has good books, retard

Ryunosuke Akutagawa

go back to r/books newfriend

Read Genji no Monogatari.

Supposedly one of the first works of fiction.

stop regurgitating wikipedia platitudes

"i am a cat" by natsume sōseki

he has a couple of ok books and a lot of lesser versions of those ok books

It says it on the back of my book you idiot.

How about you stop projecting?

Learn Japanese then.

Also when will other Eastern countries get attention like Japan? Why the lack of interest in Malay, Korean, Thai etc. literature? Japan is fine but the interest is over the top.
It is one of the first "novels", certainly not one of the first works of fiction.
