Natsume Soseki

>>9093645
Awful self-doubt, anxiety and pain from the ulcers that would eventually kill.

Sounds like me, desu. Except for me it's the colon. He even looks a tiny bit like my father.

I quit 2/3rds into I Am a Cat because it was boring and the translation sucked. Should I bother reading more Soseki or is that it?

>not reading Kokoro at the very least
Read Kokoro.

>>9093645
Truth lies in anagrams
Use kiss on mate
He's gay
Tame kiss no use
And a wild one

Yo why the FUCK does every Nip novel deal with wanting to kill themselves

>>9093645
Cum.

Definitely read more. I am a Cat is not one of his more important novels. It is just meme'd because weabs like the title.

Botchan, The Miner (Kohfu), Sanshiro, and Kokoro are some of his more important works. Kohfu is considered to be the turning point between early, more lighthearted Soseki, and late, serious Soseki.

Because killing oneself is the only way to win in that culture.

Kokoro was so dreary.

At least his works have been taken up by translators.

As opposed to whose else work being taken up? Soseki is an important figure. Of course he would.
