Matthew M. Conroy reviewed Some prefer nettles by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
Review of 'Some prefer nettles' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I found this dull, and thankfully short. Uninspired upper-class characters, described without pizazz, having mundane problems in their mostly problem-less lives. Perhaps it is all the fault of the translator?
Reading professional reviews of this makes me think I know nothing about literature.
