Yeah, that's on my reading list. Glad to hear it's good! I have a huge stack of books from that class alone to read. Lots of Kenzaburo Oe. Between that and my Japanese History course I have over 20 books I need to read this semester. XD

I've started reading some of the books so far. I'm reading The Crazy Iris right now. Hiroshima literature is gorgeous, but so, so, so disturbing. But isn't that part of beauty?
