There has been no period in the history of modern Japanese society so dramatic and so remarkably tumultuous and fluid as the Meiji Era (1868-1912), and no single work of fiction more revelatory in its depiction of that period than Ogai Mori¡¯s ¡°The Wild Goose.¡± Now we have, in Meredith McKinney¡¯s just published translation of this iconic novel, a new vein into the heart of that age.
