Botchan, like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or The Catcher in the Rye, is a classic of its kind, a sly, funny, poignant tale about a young mans rebellion against the system. Since its original publication 100 years ago, it has enjoyed a timeless popularity among Japanese readers both young & old, making it, according to Donald Keene, probably the most widely read novel in modern Japan.
The setting is Japan's deep south, where the author himself spent four years teaching English in a middle school. Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties & established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big city, with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young charges; & the result is a chain of collisions large & small.
Most of the story seems to occur in summer, against the drone of cicadas & the sting of mosquitoes. & in every way this is a summer book--light, sunny, & fun to read. Here, in a lively new translation much better suited to the American reader, Botchan should continue to entertain even those who have never been near the sunlit island on which these calamitous episodes take place.
