The Crimson Thread of Abandon

The Crimson Thread of Abandon is a collection of short fiction by Shūji Terayama, translated into English by Elizabeth L. Armstrong and published by the University of Hawai'i Press in 2013.[1] The book contains a total of 20 stories.[2] The stories in the first half of the book originate from the collection Stories Sewn Up with a Red Thread.[3]

Robert Anthony Siegel wrote in Three Percent that the translation had a "graceful" approach to wordplay and puns, and that the translator did her task "with sensitivity and skill".[3]

gollark: Oh, you mean "have people externally label a page", not "have the pages have pointers to an external service".
gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
gollark: If you make it rely on explicit annotations, nobody will actually do this.
gollark: For instance, the scripting language is Lua, storage is... SQLite..., pages are also Lua table notation, and headers are Lua table notation too.
gollark: We're going all Lua here, for purposes.
