Breasts and Eggs
Mieko Kawakami
@mieko_kawakami ありがとうございます!As a fellow indoor person I know painfully what you mean… I was just reading Breasts and Eggs in English for the first time — I’d forgotten it isn’t 乳と卵 but 夏物語 in Japanese! It’s a special feeling to experience the same novel twice 🙏

In Praise of Shadows
Junichiro Tanizaki
Junichiro Tanizaki might be better known in the West for his In Praise of Shadows. But his Makioka Sisters is a masterpiece — I still compare the various women in my life to the four sisters, for eg she’s a Yukiko, silent but gets what she wants.. https://t.co/sxY9dzkP6l

A Doll's House: (Original Edition)
H. Ibsen
This is just from Wikipedia, but a more accurate description of the folk story. It jumped out at me because I remember writing an essay in school comparing this crane folk story 鶴の恩返しwith Ibsen’s A Doll's House and I was rather proud of my feminist take https://t.co/Ibo4aV0dAy
