If you wish to attain the unsurpassed enlightenment
For yourself and the world,
The root is generation of an altruistic thought
That is stable and firm like a mountain,
An all-embracing compassion,
And a transcendent wisdom free of duality.

- Nagarjuna, ca. 150 CE

Idol, Burning by Rin Usami and translated into English by Asa Yoneda is a novella about obsession and mental health. The teenage narrator and online slang made this translation a challenge that I think Yoneda handles fantastically.

I explore what we lose and gain in certain translation choices in my review of Idol, Burning
