A memoir by an American Jewish woman who visited Israel by the Birthright program in 2007. It’s free for attendants, paid by Israeli government, and the author is aware that its objective is propaganda, but she attends anyway—she also attempts to vis ...more | |

This book was mentioned in one of the reviews for Yellowface, as another novel about literary theft—an interesting topic. It starts strong. The first chapter is about young Maurice Swift and a German English author Erich Ackerman, narrated by Ackerma ...more |

The opening scene is so cheesy that I’m checking a few reviews to make sure it somehow gets interesting . . . Or maybe it won’t? | |

In college, we had to read The Grand Inquisitor (it came as a small leaflet) and I loved it. Now, decades later, I’ve finally decided to read the whole novel, and … well, it starts slow but I don’t mind it. Old novels are like this. What really bothe ...more | |

I first read this short novel when I was in high school. Frankly, I didn’t like it. I wondered: Is nobody thinking how the situation is for the wife? (view spoiler) ...more | |

I read this when I was a student (in the original Japanese version). After seeing it mentioned in How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read, I'm tempted to reread it. So I can't comment on the English translation. I just imagine it was super difficult ...more |

I read The Lady With The Little Dog long ago and remember it rather fondly. Now I just read a few stories from this collection—the first story The Death Of A Clerk was no good, so I skipped to The Darling, which seems to be rather well-known. It’s be ...more | |

“Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Selected Poems
