Liam Mulvaney’s Reviews > The Samurai > Status Update

Last year, I attempted to read Shogun by James Clavell. I can't say I was invested in the book. It felt too difficult. However, I will return to it eventually. This book, "The Samurai", feels like a good introduction to Samurai literature. Unlike Shogun, where you're blasted with terms, Shusako Endo introduces these concepts slowly. I get more out of a book when complexity is broken down into manageable steps.
