Imagine a type of writing so hard to define its very name means a trial effort or attempt An ancient form with an eye on the future a genre poised between tradition & experiment The essay wants above all to wander but also to arrive at symmetry & wholeness; it nurses competing urges to integrity & disarray perfection & fragmentation confession & invention How to write about essays & essayists while staying true to these contradictions? ESSAYISM is a personal critical & polemical book about the genre its history & contemporary possibilities It's an example of what it describes an essay that is curious & digressive exacting yet evasive a form that would instruct seduce & mystify in equal measure Among the essayists to whom he pays tribute
- from Virginia Woolf to Georges Perec Joan Didion to Sir Thomas Browne
- Brian Dillon discovers a path back into his own life as a reader & out of melancholia to a new sense of writing as adventure

These two works on life's fleeting pleasures are by Buddhist monks from medieval Japan but each shows a different world-view In the short memoir Hojoki Chomei recounts his decision to withdraw from worldly affairs & live as a hermit in a tiny hut in the mountains contemplating the impermanence of human existence Kenko however displays a fascination with more earthy matters in his collection of anecdotes advice & observations From ribald stories of drunken monks to aching nostalgia for the fading traditions of the Japanese court Essays in Idleness is a constantly surprising work that ranges across the spectrum of human experience Meredith Mc Kinney's excellent new translation also

Includes::
notes & an introduction exploring the spiritual & historical background of the works Chomei was born into a family of Shinto priests in around 1155 at at time when the stable world of the court was rapidly breaking up He became an important though minor poet of his day & at the age of fifty withdrew from the world to become a tonsured monk He died in around 1216 Kenko was born around 1283 in Kyoto He probably became a monk in his late twenties & was also noted as a calligrapher Today he is remembered for his wise & witty aphorisms ' Essays in Idleness' Meredith Mc Kinney who has also translated Sei Shonagon's The Pillow Book for Penguin Classics is a translator of both contemporary & classical Japanese literature She lived in Japan for twenty years & is currently a visitng fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra' Essays in Idleness is a most delightful book & one that has served as a model of Japanese style & taste since the 17th century These cameo-like vignettes reflect the importance of the little fleeting futile things & each essay is Kenko himself' Asian Student
