If you look into him, start with the 7 page masterpiece, "The Circular Ruins". "...and in the dream of the dreamer, the dreamed one awoke."<br /><br />P.S. Especially as translated by Andrew Hurley...complete works are available in 3 volumes through Penguin, wonderfully printed and bound!mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285530.post-52892668442589591572009-05-11T03:29:00.000-05:002009-05-11T03:29:00.000-05:00Ah, my favorite books are about real people.
