From the deadly serious and deeply weird to the fluffiest of diversions, Japanese literature in the 2020s is a booming and eclectic realm. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/12/15/books/japanese-literature-translation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #books #books #literature #translation #miekokawakami #sayakamurata #yumiri #asakoyuzuki #yokoogawa #yokotawada #hiromikawakami #harukimurakami

For #JanuaryInJapan I'm reading Yu Miri's The End Of August (tr. Morgan Giles). Looking at the size of it, it will last me well past the end of January 😹 (but not August, hopefully).
I loved Tokyo Ueno Station, so have high hopes for this, a generation-spanning exploration of nationhood, family, and what it is to be Korean in Japan (Yu Miri herself is of Korean descent). And I believe marathon running figures prominently, so that's another plus. 😊

Got a few book pre-orders in so I can forget about them and be surprised when they arrive. Usually most of my pre-orders are of fave authors, but these are all new to me. Any other #bookstodon folks have these on their list? Have other pre-order recommendations?
Tomb of Sand by #GeetanjaliShree, trans. by Daisy Rockwell (Jan 31) - feminist epic
Flux by #JinwooChong (Mar 21) - neo-noir/speculative fiction
The End of August by #YuMiri, trans. by Morgan Giles (Aug 1) - historical fiction/epic
