So, the assignment is to write about Haiku Guy, a novel that we have been reading in class. Haiku Guy is about a poet and student of Issa named Buck-Teeth. In the novel, he is traveling in Edo and is learning about life and other things along the way. He learns the concept of falling in and out of love. While in Edo, he takes in the thought of attending different school of Haiku to try to find new ways to expand his training. As his travels seize to an end, he learns the true meaning of being a poet.
I noticed that the written style was very descriptive- with many metaphors and similes. The novel was written in a blunt humorous manner. The tone of illusion is subtle and evasive. That's what kept me wanting to read and find out more. So I guess you could say I enjoyed it. It wasn't really the novel itself, it was more of the writing style used for it. I will be honest, if it wasn't written the way it is, then I probably would have out it on my "dislike list".
I would recommend this novel to friends because the storyline and writing is very provocative. Many people may get ideas for new writing topics.
