The Tale of Genji, written one thousand years ago, is a masterpiece
of Japanese literature, is often regarded as the best prose fiction
in the language. Read, commented on, and reimagined by poets,
scholars, dramatists, artists, and novelists, the tale has left a
legacy as rich and reflective as the work itself. This sourcebook
is the most comprehensive record of the reception of The Tale of
Genji to date. It presents a range of landmark texts relating to
the work during its first millennium, almost all of which are
translated into English for the first time. An introduction
prefaces each set of documents, situating them within the tradition
of Japanese literature and cultural history. These texts provide a
fascinating glimpse into Japanese views of literature, poetry,
imperial politics, and the place of art and women in society.
Selections include an imagined conversation among court ladies
gossiping about their favorite characters and scenes in Genji;
learned exegetical commentary; a vigorous debate over the morality
of Genji; and an impassioned defense of Genji's ability to enhance
Japan's standing among the twentieth century's community of
nations. Taken together, these documents reflect Japan's fraught
history with vernacular texts, particularly those written by women.

Some short stories announce their ending at the beginning. Others
refuse to give away their plot until the final word has been read.
Written in the spirit of the latter, Surprise Endings is a
collection of short stories that keeps the reader guessing for as
long as possible.
