I'm not a native speaker, I learnt by reading cheaply made porn comics too. がんばれ, friend.

This. I read a few of his other works and didn't care for them. But this was interesting.

>The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea.
It is short, sweet, punchy, written in his most spare and Hemingway-like mood, and a really neat little compact novella. It was my first and I loved it. Don't read Temple of the Golden Pavillion till later on. I found it confounding and dense.
