4.0 out of 5 stars
Depressed? Stressed out? This is a "must-read" book for you!,
By Ken Iida (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Tears and Laughter: Short Fiction of Medieval Japan (Hardcover)
It was a nonstop reading. Who could possibly get bored with the thirteen cute, little pieces Virginia Skord presents here? She succeeds in carrying out the subtle nuances the original texts possess (I have read many of them translated into "modern" Japanese) into jargon-free English. What? Do words such as "medieval Japan" or "East Asian Studies" intimidate you? You do not see anything in common between your cultural background and the medieval culture from Far East? Hold the view for now. Read this, cry and laugh, and now you realize how common virtues can transcend the time, culture, or geography.
