I just received Contemporary Japanese Writers Vol. 1<\/i> from the J-Lit Center and realized that Three Percent has been totally lacking in love for this amazing cultural organization.<\/p>\n
First off, their website<\/a> has recently gone through a number of changes, and is quickly becoming an incredibly valuable resource for info on Japanese writing. The Emerging Writers in Translation<\/a> section is great for introducing young authors, and the featured stories and articles are great. <\/p>\n Michael Emmerich’s piece<\/a> on Abe Kazushige has me more excited than ever to see the translation of Sinsemillas<\/i>, which is part of the most recent list of Japanese Literature Publishing Project<\/a> titles.<\/p>\n As if that wasn’t enough, the Contemporary Japanese Writers<\/i> book that arrived today is astounding. Featuring biographical and bibliographical information on 50 contemporary Japanese writers, this is a great way to find out about the contemporary lit landscape in Japan. (And the design is beautiful.)<\/p>\n I guess this is one of my typical cheerleader posts, but I think J-Lit is one of the most impressive cultural organizations out there and deserves more recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just received Contemporary Japanese Writers Vol. 1 from the J-Lit Center and realized that Three Percent has been totally lacking in love for this amazing cultural organization.
