I'm still confused. Was this his first interaction with a thing they call a story?

How are ppl/ organisations/ businesses etc justifying paying for ticks/ getting money from ticks from someone who has been lobbying 2.0 to push the white genocide nonsense (amongst other things)?

I know that I confuse easily, but I am trying to work out how this conflation happened.

I've never been somewhere when there's been monarchy-related cheering, but I would absolutely find it somewhat disconcerting.

I think so. What's also funny is the number of ppl posting about how this is how they learned that there's a monarchy there.

This was a couple of months back and I already forgot to go back and take another look. Actually that's an interesting broader topic - books that 'do better' (however you wish to define this -sales, reviews, whatever) in translated languages than their original. Or abroad vs orig. country of publ.

It does look dangerous, doesn't it? The most hilarious thing is that there used to be one there, acc to the article, so it's not a new idea for the spot.

I did. Have you read it? I'm accidentally reading in circles atm - 4 bks ago I read the Harvill Bulgakov 'Diaboliad' which incl. 'The Adventures of Chichikov'. Decided to read Sōseki bec @nelsonrarebooks.com was there. Now LX - first story is 'Diary of a Madman', insp. by Gogol (not read the Gogol)

Oh hang on. I just looked it up. I've *watched* The Awful Truth. I forgot the name. Sigh. I can't recall all of it, though.

The time has come. I'm going to read the Lu Xun short stories. I just finished Soseki's 'The Tower of London' and because of one of the translator's notes (about someone else), I thought of Lu Xun. Looked it up and it seems he read Soseki when in Japan.
