Botchan by Soseki Natsume
A modern classic in Japan, Botchan is as widely read today as when it was first published, occupying a place in the canon similar to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or The Catcher in the Rye
"Filled with light, satirical touches" — Donald Keene
"Botchan is required reading at school in Japan and you can imagine students identifying with the central character's contempt for the fools around him in much the same way those in the West identify with the characters in The Catcher in the Rye and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — both of which Botchan has been compared to." —The Japan Times
"Soseki Natsume is a great writer to have in anyone's collection. At his best, his prose is lush and rife with human observation and insight. He is capable of genuine pathos as seen in his novels such as Kokoro and I Am a Cat, but he is also capable of great humor and satire, as in the case of both Cat and Botchan." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer
