Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Some Prefer Nettles (蓼喰う虫, Tade kū mushi; Historical orthography: 蓼喰ふ蟲) is a 1929 novel by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. It was first published in 1928–9 as a newspaper serial. The novel is often regarded as the most autobiographical of Tanizaki's works and one of his finest novels. The Japanese title of the novel is literally water pepper-eating bugs, and is the first half of the Japanese saying tade kuu mushi mo sukizuki (蓼食う虫も好き好き), or "Water pepper-eating bugs eat it willingly", equivalent to the English "To each his own." The translation as Some Prefer Nettles was chosen by Edward Seidensticker. He considered it one of his most noted translations, and it has been included as a translation of the original saying in the authoritative Kenkyūsha's New Japanese-English Dictionary.
