/lit/ - Literature

This list is kind of shit. Personally I wouldn't ever recommend Murakami.

I would recommend:
>Kwaidan
>The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea
>Snow Country

This is actually a pretty shitty list. I would advise you to avoid Murakami. But you can probably fin something good here.

Personally I would recommend:
>The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Mishima
>Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn
>Snow Country by Yusanari Kawabanta
if you read these you'll probably be better read than most Japanese people.

Hey, I just finished this the other day. Here’s a chart for Japanese lit if that interests you. My personal favorite is Spring Snow.

Start with Yusanari Kawabanta and Yukio Mishima.

That picture isn't exactly fair though

i think it belongs on >>>/a/ or >>>/jp/

read real japanese literature instead (see pic)

Why read that trash when there's so much real Japanese literature to read?

No, as there is legitimate Japanese literature to read.

Because the Japanese have plenty of real literature to read, OP.
