A review by eveningreverie
The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
Already was pretty put off by a lot of this, but I simply cannot excuse the pedophilia. Not going to pick this up ever again. Sure, it’s interesting to see a narrative look at an old culture from someone who experienced it firsthand, but there are reasons some things should have been left in the past. Much of this book hits most of those reasons. No thanks.
