Does anyone know if any of Japanese author, Chizuko Ueno's work has been translated into English? I'm guessing no, since I can't find any anywhere. Thought I'd ask the hivemind just in case. https://www.npr.org/2023/09/29/1202578027/as-china-censors-homegrown-feminism-a-... #Japaneseliterature #Japanesebooks #Japanese #Japaneseauthors

AnnCrystal Not sure, did a quick search and found something on Google.

Pricey, perhaps you can find it for less somewhere else??

Breasts and Eggs | Mieko Kawakami

I LOVED this book! I‘m loving Japanese literature!

Breasts and Eggs paints a portrait of contemporary womanhood in Japan and recounts the intimate journeys of three women as they confront oppressive mores and their own uncertainties on the road to finding peace and futures they can truly call their own. #japaneseliterature #japaneseauthor #japanesebooks

First pick in my Birthday Book Challenge (I.e.: reading books authored by Asian people). She's one of my fave authors, so I'm totally psyched! 🍓🍓

Book #2 in the #DiversityDecBingo! So far this is REALLY intriguing. I'm excited to see how the individual lives of all the characters will connect. I have a feeling all hell will break loose as I progress onwards! 😍😆😲

BTOOOM! | Junya Inoue

Pickpick

Finishing up volumes 14 & 15 tonight. I really love this manga series. It's quite violent, but really fascinating & fuelled by suspense, twisted characters, & an imaginative premise. Modern-day rendition of Battle Royale that's almost as psychological & conniving as the original novel. Every volume thus far, for me, is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Finally I've found a Japanese history book that's co-authored by a Japanese individual. The book is honest, concise, objective, informative, & does a marvellous job of explaining the importance of events, people, societal & political practices described w/o compromising integrity. It's intellectual but beautifully accessible to anyone outside of an educational institution. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2.

Drifters, Volume 1 | Kaota Hirano
post image

From the brilliant and violent mind of the dude who brought us the Hellsing manga, I present Drifters! Supernatural creatures amidst a historical background filled with skilled sword fighters sounds like a wonderful follow-up. 😆 An anime series began simulcasting this Fall season, so I figured I should read up to watch up.
