@HarcourtAnna @nzmediaawards Congratulations, Trash Reporter!

[Geraldine Harcourt @gmharcourt]

@pollyfmbarton Yes. It’s one of Umbria’s loveliest hill towns with views, a fine cathedral, remains of a Roman theater, and truffles.

@Jelz127 @zaichishka I joined an Italian class (3rd language) conducted in Japanese (2nd language) bc we were in Japan. The interference from Japanese was terrific.

It took more than nine hundred years for “The Tale of Genji” to be available in English: Arthur Waley’s first translation was published in 1925. Now, a groundbreaking exhibition at the MET explores the history of the novel’s reception.
