The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Michael Emmerich's The Tale of Genji: Translation, Canonization, and World Literature.
(Yes, it's a study of The Tale of Genji: I still don't know that that justifies titling it ... The Tale of Genji.)
This came out last year from Columbia University Press, and I'm rather disappointed to see that it's gotten so little attention -- okay, it's a bit specific, but it's still an impressive work, and a fascinating case-study, and deserves to be in the discussion-mix.
(Author Emmerich is also a fairly well-known translator-from-the-Japanese -- and half of the most impressive brother-and-sister translating team around, as sister Karen translates from the Greek; in fact, just yesterday I got my advance copy of her translation of Amanda Michalopoulou's Why I Killed My Best Friend, forthcoming from Open Letter (see their publicity page (and note that in real life the cover doesn't look anywhere near that purple ...), or pre-order your copy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk).)
