I'll be starting this book today. It's been a few months since I've read fiction.

It's originally in Japanese but translated to English by Albert Novick.

"Otohiko Kaga's Marshland is an epic novel on a Tolstoian scale, running from pre-World War II period to the turbulence of 1960s Japan."

It seem really interesting and I'm looking forward to it. I also really like the cover design.

Woah, boy, look at that epic beauty. An entire forest of trees condensed into one book! [I jest, I jest]

Only ~880 pages worth of the finest hand watered organic gluten free hardwoods went into making his book.

It's a sight to behold and a hold to besight.
