It was made in " concertina" or orihon style: several sheets of paper pasted together and folded alternately in one direction then the other. The original manuscript, created around the peak of the Heian period, no longer exists. ![]() The Tale of Genji ( 源氏物語, Genji monogatari, pronounced ) is a classic work of Japanese literature written in the early 11th century by the noblewoman and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu. ![]()

The characters are also well etched – their flaws, their mannerisms defined well. The narrative is dark and stylish and lures the ready immediately. I had to re-read several lines to taste their supreme beauty and appreciate the literary mastery behind them. The way Murakami has weaved mystical, dark elements into the narrative with delightfully formed sentences reflects the magical brilliance of his writing skills. Its delicious and sticks to your memory, especially the parts on Eri Asai. Anyway, the things that stand out in this novel is the language. This book was gifted to me by my wife on my birthday, so it has that special ring to it. This is my second Murakami novel and perhaps the most peculiar novel I’ve ever read. ![]() ![]() Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovaleh G provokes both revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry – and all this in the presence of a former childhood friend who is trying to understand why he’s been summoned to this performance. His most recent novel, A Horse Walks into a Bar, was awarded the International Man Booker Prize 2017, and shortlisted for the TLS-Risa Domb/Porjes Prize 2019. ![]() Betrayals between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress. David Grossman is the bestselling author of numerous works, which have been translated into thirty-six languages. Dovaleh G, a veteran stand-up comic – charming, erratic, repellent – exposes a wound he has been living with for years: a fateful and gruesome choice he had to make between the two people who were dearest to him.Ī Horse Walks into a Bar is a shocking and breathtaking read. They could get up and leave, or boo and whistle and drive him from the stage, if they were not so drawn to glimpse his personal hell. An audience that has come expecting an evening of amusement instead sees a comedian falling apart on stage an act of disintegration, a man crumbling, as a matter of choice, before their eyes. ![]() The setting is a comedy club in a small Israeli town. ![]() WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't even know if anyone will read it.

Poignant, funny and beautifully unabashed, I Might Regret This takes readers on both a cross-the-country adventure and a deep dive into Abbi Jacobsons gigantic heart - Cheryl Strayed As a passionate fan of Abbi Jacobsons comedy, it was no surprise to me that this book is hilarious, peculiar and very smart. That said, not even Jacobson possesses the literary prowess or the personality that would be required to sell readers on a minute-by-minute breakdown of insomnia. ![]() In her debut collection of essays, I Might Regret This: Essays, Vulnerabilities, and Other Stuff, out now, Abbi Jacobson describes herself as an 'introvert masquerading as an extrovert,' and on her hit Comedy Central series, Broad City, which she co-created and co-stars in. For the most part, though, Jacobson is interested in talking about the things most readers are interested in hearing about. In some ways, she can be considered an enigma. ![]() It seems like artistic malpractice - or the setup to a joke about millennials - to drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains and put pencil to paper to capture the spectacular natural beauty of … an episode of 'The West Wing' she’s just watched on an iPad.

It was years later that I got to know of an instance when Deveni effectively and exquisitely combined his poetic and advertising skills in the ultimate person endeavour of winning over a girl. Where do we come from, where are we and where are we going, then, were questions that he grappled with. ![]() In a short introduction, Deveni wrote what was essentially an exchange between himself and the famed Balangoda Man of prehistory. It was all deeply rooted in history, heritage and culture related to his country and in particular his native Ratnapura. In ‘Kamatahan Rupiyalai,’ Deveni revealed the sources of his thinking, beliefs and imagination. He didn’t really talk about hopes and aspirations, further education and careers etc. Those conversations gave me insights into Deveni, his interests and passions mostly. We talked mostly about literature and philosophy. He was just another political associate but one with whom I hardly discussed politics. Several years junior to me, I got to know him on account of political beliefs shared at that time.
