A new translation by Joshua Mostow with Royall Tyler has just come out! I'm really excited, especially since I've read a few works of translation by Mostow and Tyler. While I wouldn't know how close their translation is to the original, their works are readable and friendly.
Also, apparently the last translation of Ise Monotagari is from the 70s (and rumored to be not that great) so an update is quite welcome.
I will have to give a more thorough review once the book comes in the mail but I just wanted to let everyone know.
The introduction is also available for download at the U Hawaii press website as well as the table of contents.
(and kindly thank Amazon, which normally sends me "you might like this..." e-mails of little or no value, for sending me something I'd like).
