Corrections to “The Last Samurai Reread.”

Since I published The Last Samurai Reread in 2022, I have been keeping a running list of errors in the book.

Various readers, including Helen DeWitt, have discovered various mistakes. Indeed, Helen was kind enough to offer extremely detailed feedback, for which I am very grateful. It took a long time for me to compile a definitive list of revisions I would want to make.

I’ve decided to publish them

Quotes by Lee Konstantinou (?)

“Today's Terror Forecast has predicted a day of low-to-moderate unrest for East Jerusalem with mild political pressure moving inward from the west.”
― Lee Konstantinou, Pop Apocalypse: A Darkly Comic Satirical Novel of an Unlikely Hero, an Evil Twin, and Global Chaos

“I'd suggest that what J R documents is the way that America is hollowing out the foundation necessary to even read a book like it, an America that teaches its children via closed-circuit television, an America that thinks democracy means owning a share of profit-maximizing publicly traded corporations. This is what it means to say that J R is about the conditions underlying the impossibility of its own reception. If there were a welcoming mass public for books like this, a public able to appreciate its beautiful difficulty and astonishing imagination, we wouldn't live in the sort of world so in need of savage satirical critique in the first place.”
