A sudden ‘Mrs.Bennet moment’: When Prince Genji got exiled and arrived in a small town he was to spend three years at, the local governor said to his wife “I confess I’m delighted to hear it. What a splendid opportunity for our girl.”

Starting to get bogged down a bit by the same themes Nunez is going over and over. The rape and the hippie culture. I hope the plot moves to something else soon

Such a pleasure! Sigrid Nunez is reliably satisfying. If I’m in a reading slump or just need to cleanse my palate, she’s my go to author.

Genji, a highly decorous and fragrant (sandalwood) son of an emperor, who carries on numerous love affairs with women he loves, feels bad for, wants to cheer up, or sees resemblance to his mother, this Genji would’ve otherwise been nothing but an insufferable fukboi, if he weren’t so devilishly charming and earnest! He just can’t help himself :)
