Botchan: A Modern Classic
"Soseki's lightest and funniest work." -Donald Keene"Natsume Soseki is unquestionably one of Japan's greatest modern novelists, and the easiest approach to his work is through his delightful early satire,Botchan." -Oliver Statler"This rollicking rebel, and the spice and pace of the narrative, will appeal to parent, teacher, and schoolchild alike." -TimesLiterary Supplement"J. Cohn's translation is smooth and readable. ...an entertaining coming-of-age story with an endearing, if somewhat simple, protagonist." -The Bloomsbury Review
