“And when the couple had enjoyed their lovemaking, they shared another pleasure—telling stories.”
Masterwork of translation. The introduction and translators note were both extremely insightful and helped me elucidate themes and symbols that I would not otherwise have been aware of. Additionally reminded me of the importance in considering this as a work of the oral tradition. It is not a novel, nor is it a written poem. It is a spoken performance. Full praise to Dr. Wilson for her craftsmanship and insight.
