Review of 'Two novels' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Seventeen was pretty fascinating. J was rather less fascinating. I wonder how much this had to do with the translator? The language didn't flow and seemed like an adolescent with a thesaurus was writing, which is probably why it felt okay while reading Seventeen, but jarring during J. The intro essay by Masao Miyoshi was excellent though.
