Monthly reads: July 2022

 


Well...I thought last month was bad, but this one is clearly worse. I can't even remember the last time I finished just one puny book in a month...

Romanze östlich des Sumidagawa (Nagai Kafu)

At least that one book was really good, though. I liked especially how it made me feel like I was actually there, seeing old Japan through the protagonist's eyes or exploring 1930s Tokyo together with him. I guess this won't be my last book by Nagai Kafu, although I need to check out whether there are more translations of his works. I don't think there's all that much available in German, so I might need to go for English, if possible.
