Hey guys, recently I've been trying to broaden my horizons and read some literature that's outside the anglosphere. I've read a few of the classics like A Journey West and the Bhagavad Gita, but I thought it would be cool to get some recommendations for books that may not be as well-known that really delve into the culture, history, and feel of a certain country.
Thanks for the help!

Yo I picked up this Japanese novel called “Kitchen” by Banana Yoshimoto during one of my longer DoorDash shifts and it really captures this whole vibe of modern Tokyo life that you don’t get from the usual samurai stuff 😂 It’s pretty short but gets deep into how people connect when everything feels disconnected, definitly worth checking out
