The book is an interesting mix of political intrigue, magic, taboo, exotic folk tales and last but not least humor! I hope that Birnbaum's translation gets published. He's such a good translator!<br />As for the reason why it's not published yet; I'm not sure of course but perhaps the fact that it's a VERY long story has something to do with it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing with us your interesting blog on Japanese literature.<br /><br />GregoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
