2.0 out of 5 stars
A very klunky translation with some good moments.,
By Irving Warner (Fife, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spring Miscellany (Paperback)
I regret ordering this. Though not familiar with either Soseki Natsume, or the translator Sammy Tsunematsu, I found my debut to both of their work disappointing. Though completely unfamiliar with the Japanese language, I am familiar with good writing, especially in short stories and vignettes. These prose pieces have very unskilled, unattractive places that spoil the whole. I can't believe those blemishes occurred in the original, because of Natsume's great reputation. For diverse reasons, it must be a very poor translation. I do not recommend this work because of it.
