I would recommend reading it, if just for the experience. (It’s not exactly a feel-good read)

Maybe I’ll add Kokoro to my to-read list (after Yasushi Inoue’s short story collection though, that one sounded really interesting).

He actually described it as being sort of like a haiku.

Oh, his work is quite varied, actually? Have you ever read Kokoro? Or the Ten Nights of Dreams (the latter are these very strange dream episodes)

I had no idea that Natsume Soseki had written an anti-novelistic novel. I guess since I knew he was known as a popular writer, I thought his novels were all accessible, like Botchan or I am a Cat. He must be a real gift to literary critics, I mean if his body of work is so varied.
