"A brave and groundbreaking work. Jackson's 'queer' reading of The Tale of Genji--where 'queer' does not index a particular sexual identity or mode of erotic exchange but, rather, provides a provocative critical lens--throws into sharp relief practices of Heian sexual politics. Intimately researched and engagingly written."--Charlotte Eubanks, author of Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan "A Proximate Remove offers a bold and provocative reading of the eleventh-century classic The Tale of Genji. It begins the much-needed task of exposing the ideological limitations that define the parameters of existing premodern Japanese studies."--Atsuko Ueda, author of Language, Nation, Race: Linguistic Reform in Meiji Japan (1868-1912)
