Have fun, Jerome, Jeremy, Joseph, Jessica, Jennifer, Joanne, Jed, Jacob, Joe, and ALEX. It's a solid 8/10 no matter on your political persuasion.

Taking myself out since I really want to re-read this but any other Stuarts you're going to be reading Bely's Petersburg next, fantastic novel which doesn't get a lot of attention sadly.

How are those? I'm reading the Tale of the Heike and I'm having a great time remembering names and interpreting Royall Tyler's super awkward half-verse half-prose adaptation. Unironically a great book so far!

Rashomon is pretty essential, but that edition includes most of his short stories too (as well as the actual short story that Kurosawa based his adaptation of Rashomon on). It's pretty damn good.
