I can’t decide what bread to buy, so I haven’t bought any.
The irony of remembering his reaction when I got tattoos as a teenager. Ha!
My siblings want to get the same tattoo to remember my father. I’m sorry but no thanks. Hey, I attended the funeral, ok. I suggested something inspired from my mother’s art.
That’s simply what I’m state certified to teach in high schools. I like it, but I’d be doing something different if I hadn’t returned home to somewhat of an emergency with my elderly parents. Haven’t always been the best brother. Never too late to start I guess.
What?! You think I’m an English teacher or something.
Tired of caring about typos. Schtupid keyboard on a screen! Whoever thought of it was dumb.
Søren Kierkegaard’s philosophy of existential absurdity in Fear and Trembling (1843). Mostly tragic with some irony toward logic and reason.
Dostoevsky is both tragic and comic. But seldom both at the same time. He’s kinda bipolar with his absurdism.
The Russians. Anton Chekhov’ short stories sit closer to Japanese acceptance of the absurd than to Kafka’s tragic alienation.
Jippensha Ikku’s Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige (1802–1822). In English, Foot Travelers along the Tokai-do Road. Japan’s Waiting for Godot? #Absurdism
Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground (1864) predates Futabatei Shimei’s Ukigumo (The Drifting Cloud, 1887–1889).
When the novel was first introduced in Japan, authors followed Western forms closely; then, rejected them.
With an accepting and comic view of the meaningless of life, Japanese literature lacks the tragic despair that would later define the absurd in the West.
Often coupled with a rejection of Western literary forms and long before the absurd in European literature with Kafka, Japan cultivated themes of meaninglessness, impermanence, and irony.
That if for a more traditional read.
This if you want to enter through the surreal door to Japanese literature.
