There seems to be a lot of contention around Borges English translations on Amazon, specifically Andrew Hurley's work on "Collected Fictions". Does anyone have a preference here?

Just finished Stoner and loved it. Beautifully written, and there was a subtle feeling of dread underneath everything, for me. I couldn't put it down. I think I'm going to start Spring Snow or Kokoro next. Someone push me towards one of those two.

Just finished reading Kobo Abe's The Woman in the Dunes, from a recommendation somewhere deep in this thread, and I'm kinda in awe. He did a magnificent job at portraying desperation. There are some lines in this book that I probably should've soaked in a bit more, because he drops these profound thoughts in the middle, or the end, of what might be a more economical paragraph. I loved it, so thanks to whoever brought it up. I think next up is Ryu Murakami's In the Miso Soup.

Mostly been lurking this thread for nearly a decade, jfc, but I’m reading Yu Hua’s To Live right now and it is fantastic, so thanks to however many of you recommended it. Finished reading a version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which had the Middle English side-by-side with the translation and it owned so hard. If anyone has seen the recent Green Knight movie, is it good? I usually love the bullshit A24 puts out, so I assume it’s decent. Also CestMoi could post more and I wouldn’t be mad about it.
