S04E09 - Louisa, een nieuwe Boek van de maand-collega, schuift aan bij David en Britt om te praten over de titels van afgelopen maand en het gekozen boek: een onderzoekend portret over vrouwen in de Japanse onderwereld en de illusie van vrije wil. Ons nieuwe Boek van de maand is: Het gele huis van Mieko Kawakami.

Go Mani ist ein bisschen lahmarschig. Das zumindest sagt ihre Mutter, und damit hat sie recht. Als Kind hatte Go Mani einmal eine richtig leidenschaftliche Phase, in der sie Kunstturnerin werden wollte. Ihr Vorbild war damals die rumänische Weltklasse-Turnerin Nadia Comăneci. Doch aus Go Manis Karriere wurde nichts. Später bringt sie für nichts mehr ähnlich viel Energie auf. Heute ist sie 36 und wohnt noch bei ihren Eltern in einem ärmlichen Außenbezirk von Seoul. Go Mani ist die Hauptfigur in Cho Nam-Joos neuem Roman „Wo ich wohne, ist der Mond ganz nah“. Mit ihrem ersten Roman „Kim Jiyoung, geboren 1982“ hatte Cho international Erfolg. In ihren Geschichten geht es stets um prekäre Lebensverhältnisse. Im Zentrum stehen bei ihr Frauen, die Mühe haben, im Leben zurecht zu kommen. Die Kritikerin Isabella Arcucci hat den Roman „Wo ich wohne, ist der Mond ganz nah“ mit Interesse gelesen. Allerdings begegnen ihr in den letzten Jahren allzu viele passive Frauenfiguren in neuer ostasiatischer Literatur, auch etwa bei Sayaka Murata und Mieko Kawakami. Es sind Frauen, die unverheiratet sind, isoliert leben und meist einer stumpfsinnigen Arbeit nachgehen. Im Gespräch mit SWR Kultur-Literaturredakteurin Katharina Borchardt wünscht sich Arcucci eine stärkere charakterliche Ausdifferenzierung der Figuren von Seiten der AutorInnen und mehr Lust an der literarischen Variation von Seiten der deutschen Verlage. Ein Gespräch mit Isabella Arcucci

Novel "Heaven" karya Mieko Kawakami bagaikan jendela menuju realitas pahit bullying di kalangan remaja Jepang. Di balik sampul tipisnya, novel ini menyimpan kisah memikat tentang seorang remaja tanpa nama yang menjadi korban perundungan. Kawakami dengan cerdik menyelami kompleksitas pengalaman sang narator. Dia membawa pembaca merasakan frustrasi, kebingungan, dan kerinduan akan koneksi. Dialog-dialog filosofis antara sang narator dan Kojima menjadi salah satu kekuatan utama novel ini. "Heaven" bukan hanya tentang bullying, tetapi juga tentang pencarian jati diri dan keberanian. Novel ini direkomendasikan untuk pembaca yang ingin memahami realitas bullying, merenungkan makna hidup, dan menikmati gaya penulisan unik dan puitis. Perlu diingat bahwa novel ini mengandung adegan bullying yang cukup detail. Oleh karena itu, direkomendasikan untuk pembaca yang sudah cukup umur.

Í haust kom bókin Heaven, eftir japanska rithöfundinn Mieko Kawakami, út í áskriftarröð Angústúru. Í bókinni lætur höfundur sig varða afar þung umfjöllunarefni; einelti, útskúfun og einmannaleika en þræðir í gegnum þau frásögn af nokkuð óvenjulegri vináttu. Við ræðum við Jón Stefán Kristjánsson, þýðanda Heaven í þætti dagsins. Við hugum einnig að tóminu með heimspekingnum Freyju Þórsdóttur. Í dag fjallar hún um mikilvægi auða svæðisins og skoðar það frá ýmsum hliðum. Náttúran þarf pláss til að athafna sig og halda jafnvægi, en þegar við gleymum mikilvægi plássins, eigum við það til að trufla náttúrulegt flæði lífsins. Og Eva Halldóra Guðmundsdóttir rýnir í leikverkið Saknaðarilm sem frumsýnt var í þjóðleikhúsinu um síðustu helgi. Umsjón: Tómas Ævar Ólafsson og Halla Harðardóttir

Velkommen til anden episode af vores bogunivers Den Tomme Reol. I det her afsnit taler vi om bogen 'Heaven' af den japanske forfatter Mieko Kawakami. Vi håber, at I vil lytte med :) Vores jingle er lavet af Nicklas Vittrup Steffensen.

Arbeiten von morgens bis abends und ein jährlicher Spaziergang an ihrem Geburtstag: So sieht das Leben der Protagoniston Fuyuka in Mieko Kawakamis „All die Liebenden der Nacht“ aus. Es ist ein Roman mit wenig Handlung, in dem aber dennoch viel passiert: Fuyuka wird damit konfrontiert, wie unterschiedlich Frauen ihr Leben gestalten, wird zur Freundin ohne es zu merken und gewinnt langsam die Kontrolle über ihr Leben zurück. Hört unbedingt rein und erfahrt, ob sich Peter und Patrick an den Unterschied zwischen direkter und indirekter Rede erinnern können, warum das für den Roman einen Unterschied macht und was sie an der Geschichte berührt hat. In der nächsten Episode nach der Sommerpause sprechen wir über „The Deep Sky“ von Yume Kitasei.

Die Autorin Mieko Kawakami ist ein Star in ihrer Heimat Japan: In ihren Büchern wie „Brüste und Eier“ oder „Heaven“ beleuchtet sie die junge, japanische Gesellschaft. So auch in ihrem Roman „All die Liebenden der Nacht“, der bereits 2011 in Japan erschienen ist und erst jetzt ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde. Ein Buch über eine einsame, schüchterne junge Frau, die nichts kennt, außer ihren Job und die eines Tages beschließt, auszubrechen. Ein berührender Roman, der in seinem eigenen, langsamen Rhythmus die Hauptfigur zum Leuchten bringt, findet Kristine Harthauer. Aus dem Japanischen von Katja Busson Dumont Verlag, 260 Seiten, 24 Euro ISBN: 978-3-8321-8284-7

Mieko Kawakami erzählt die Geschichte einer Eigenbrötlerin, die gefangen in ihrem Beruf, immer mehr abzustürzen droht.

Außergewöhnlich, sprachgewaltig und berührend ist Kim de l'Horizons mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis prämiertes "Blutbuch", in dem die nicht-binäre Erzählfigur nach einer Sprache für sich und dem Unausgesprochenen in ihrer Familie sucht. Patrick, Doreen und Peter schwärmen von der magisch-poetischen Erzählweise, sprechen über die teils brutalen Sexszenen und fragen sich, ob "Blutbuch" ein Roman ist. Wenn ihr wissen wollt, ob sich die drei daran erinnern können, wann sie ihre kindliche Phantasie verloren haben, solltet ihr diese Folge nicht verpassen!

In dieser Folge mit Anika, Meike und Robin: „Hotel Silence“ von Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir, „Räume des Lichts“ von Yuko Tsushima und „All die Liebenden der Nacht“ von Mieko Kawakami. Doppelschock statt Doppelwumms: Der fantastische Cormac McCarthy, Großmeister des Southern Gothic, ist tot. Und als ob diese Nachricht nicht schon schlimm genug wäre, gewinnt Barbara Kingsolvers Opioid-Schmonzette "Demon Copperhead" auch noch den Women's Prize for Fiction. Wir sind fassungs-, aber ganz sicher nicht sprachlos!

Der Neuseeländer Anthony McCarten zeigt in «Going Zero» auf, dass wir der totalen Überwachung (fast) nicht mehr entgehen können. Die Japanerin Yuko Tsushima erzählt in «Räume des Lichts» von einer alleinerziehenden Frau, die ein unabhängiges Leben will. Der Neuseeländer Anthony McCarten entwirft in seinem rasanten Thriller «Going Zero» ein erschreckend realistisches Szenario. Die US-amerikanischen Geheimbehörden schliessen sich zusammen mit der weltweit grössten privaten Datenbank. Alle Verantwortlichen sind überzeugt, dass die nationale Cybersicherheit nur gewährleistet ist, wenn sie ihre Kräfte bündeln, Technologien und Daten austauschen. Das gigantische Projekt muss nur noch einen Test bestehen: Zehn Freiwillige tauchen für dreissig Tage unter und dürfen absolut keine Spuren hinterlassen. Wenn die Datenkrake die Menschen nicht finden kann, platzt der Deal. Die japanische Schriftstellerin Yuko Tsushima (1947-2016) wird gerade international wiederentdeckt. Mit ihren stark autobiografisch geprägten Themen und ihrem nüchternen, aber lebensprallen Stil macht sie Furore. In «Räume des Lichts» erzählt sie, ihrer Zeit weit voraus, vom Alltag einer alleinerziehenden Frau im Tokio der 1970er Jahre und ihrem Kampf um die Kontrolle über das eigene Leben.

Kayla and Taylor continue discussing the themes and major beats in the second part of Mieko Kawakami's 2008 novel Breasts and Eggs. Topics include the inevitable end of the human race, the vastness of space, and the tragedy of being born. It's a really fun episode!This week's drink: Ume Highball via DiversivoreINGREDIENTS:1 oz whisky1 oz umeshu1 tsp ginger juice (from crushed or grated fresh ginger)3.5 oz soda chillediceginger thinly sliced, to garnishINSTRUCTIONS:Prepare the ginger juice by grating a portion of fresh ginger and squeezing/straining out the juice.Fill a tall glass with ice (I like a nice crushed ice here, but it does tend to melt fast - use large pieces if you're looking for a slow sipper).  Combine the whisky, umeshu, and ginger in a small glass or cocktail shaker and pour down the side of the glass (rather than over the ice itself).Top with soda, once again pouring down the side of the glass.  Stir gently and garnish with a ribbon of thinly sliced ginger.  Serve immediately.Current Reads and Recommendations (and fun links!): All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick BringleyThe Cold Dish: A Longmire Mystery (#1) by Craig JohnsonEileen by Ottessa MoshfeghThe Self-Esteem (CBT) Workbook for Adults by Marcee A.

Bokspanarna kan konstatera att det där med Japan som den uppgående solens land kanske inte riktigt stämmer. I varje fall om man utgår från de böcker som tas upp i det här avsnitt. Dystopier, hemlösa och bröstimplantat är teman som berörs. För att inte tala om konstgjord befruktning. Veckans gäst: Jonathan Kristersson Vi pratar om dessa böcker: Tokyo Ueno Station av Yu Miri De förlorade minnenas ö av Yoko Ogawa Bröst och ägg: en sommarberättelse av Mieko Kawakami

This episode is marked mature.Today we'll explore two trends in contemporary Japanese fiction:Protagonists who don't want to have sexAnd women who want to have babies anyway.To take a closer look at these trends, we're going to ask a couple of questions about contemporary Japan:What is “celibacy syndrome”? Does it even exist?What role does motherhood play in a shrinking society?And how do sexlessness and motherhood play out in 21st-century Japanese fiction?We'll end with a closer look at Mieko Kawakami's best-selling novel, Breasts and Eggs.Transcript, notes and sources at the podcast episode website.

Grazie con tutto il nostro cuore.

Manon dials in with a great read for you. Whakarongo mai nei to hear about All the Lovers in the Night by Mieko Kawakami. 

V globaliziranem svetu se razdalje med donedavna oddaljenimi kulturami nezadržno manjšajo in tako k nam v dobrih, neposrednih prevodih prihaja tudi vse več del iz sodobne japonske književnosti. Najnovejše je roman Vsa moj poletja, pod katerega se podpisuje Mieko Kawakami, ena izmed gostij letošnjega festivala Fabula. Pri tem se zdi posebej pomenljivo, da slovenski bralke in bralci z Vsemi mojimi poletji na svoje knjižne police dobivamo delo, ki še ni v pravem pomenu besede kanonizirano, ki se torej ne šibi pod težo večdesetletne kritiške hvale, temveč nam ponuja dober vpogled v to, kaj se prav ta hip dogaja na literarni sceni dežele vzhajajočega sonca. In kaj se dogaja? O čem v Vseh mojih poletjih pravzaprav piše Mieko Kawakami in kako to počne, da je z romanom prebila meje svoje nacionalne književnosti in zdaj nagovarja bralce po vsem svetu, celo tiste, ki beremo slovensko? – Odgovor smo iskali v tokratnem Sobotnem branju, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili Domna Kavčiča, ki je Vsa moja poletja skupaj z Nino Habjan Villareal prevedel za založbo Beletrina. Oddajo je pripravil Goran Dekleva. foto: Goran Dekleva

Cordula from Delano joined Tom on the show for Delano's Top of the Week. Up for discussion was the new mobility plan for 2035 announced by the Luxembourg Government. The plan (nicknamed Modu 3.0) is a comprehensive infrastructure and transport plan for Luxembourg that focuses on using infrastructure more efficiently with an emphasis on so-called multi/inter-modal transport and the connections between how transport networks such roads, rail, bike and public transport. The strategy looks at urban areas and the connections between them, paying particular attention to where people can leave their cars when travelling from a rural area. Mobility needs are set to increase by 40% in Luxembourg by 2035. Last year alone, Luxembourg's population grew by more than 10,000 people. By 2035, we're looking at projections of more than 700,000 inhabitants (currently around 645,000). And that's not including cross-border workers of which there are already around 200,000 At the same time, Luxembourg needs to reduce emissions from transport to meet its climate targets. By 2030, Luxembourg has committed to reducing emissions by 55% and to be climate neutral by mid-century. For transport, that means cutting emissions by 57% over the next eight years. Cordula's Event Picks for this week included: 26th of April: Simply Quartet at the Philharmonie https://delano.lu/event/2022-04-26-simply-quartet-at-the-philharm 28th of April: Lux Audience Award screenings https://delano.lu/event/2022-04-28-lux-audience-award-screenings 30th of Apirl: Ramborn City Nature Challenge https://delano.lu/event/2022-04-30-ramborn-city-nature-challenge Her personal pick was the book 'Breasts and Eggs' by Mieko Kawakami.

Avtorica recenzije: Ana Lorger Bere Barbara Zupan.Prevedla Nina Habjan Villarreal in Domen Kavčič; Ljubljana: Beletrina 2022Mieko Kawakami v romanu Vsa moja poletja v središče postavlja vprašanje reproduktivne vloge žensk v še vedno patriarhalni, a tehnološko razviti Japonski. Tematiko umetne oploditve prepleta s problemi klasične družinske celice v odtujeni kapitalistični sodobnosti. Ta je zaznamovana z družbenimi omrežji, tehnološkim napredkom, visoko gospodarsko rastjo in velikim razkorakom med revnim in bogatim slojem prebivalstva. Zgodbe žensk, ne glede na to, iz katerega družbenega razreda prihajajo, so zaznamovane z razočaranjem nad moškimi, prenekatere pretepene, ponižane in zlorabljane že od malih nog. Glavna junakinja Natsuko Natsume pripoved začne leta 2008, na dan ko jo v Tokiu obiščeta sestra in nečakinja. Njeni spomini na otroštvo nam pred očmi izrišejo nasilnega očeta alkoholika, tipiziran lik odsotnega in agresivnega moškega pa se v romanu ves čas pojavlja. Pisateljica se osredotoča na razmerja med ženskami. Prvoosebna pripovedovalka nam pred očmi slika kompleksnost sestrskega odnosa ter odnosa med materjo in najstniško hčerjo. Pripoved odpira vprašanje lepotnih idealov in razvijanja telesa dekleta v puberteti ter že nastavi motiv žensk samohranilk. Ta se v drugem delu temeljiteje razvija. Odsotnost moških v romanu žari z vedno istega praznega mesta, zgodbe žensk pa se okoli njih sestavljajo, vznikajo in ugašajo ter v iskanju lastne izpopolnitve ves čas plavajo med delom in družino. Prvi del romana je nastal kot samostojna novela, s katero je Kawakami zaslovela, pozneje pa jo je nadgradila v roman. V drugem delu romana se zato prvi del bere kakor odmev, ki prikliče vzporednice in spomine na njeno sestro in otroštvo. Čas dogajanja je prestavljen osem let pozneje, zavzema veliko več prostora in se v celoti osredotoča na življenje osemintridesetletne Natsume. Pisateljica, ki bi za novi roman sicer morala raziskovati jakuze, se postopoma poglablja v raziskovanje umetne oploditve, problema samskih žensk in rojevanja otrok. Natsume, ki sprva deluje kot obris, se pred nami postopoma izriše v celostni ženski jaz, odnosi, ki jih plete v romanu, pa se prav tako poglabljajo. Sprva se zdi, da so vsi odnosi v romanu prepredeni z distanco in da se ljudje srečujejo kakor vase zaprte kapsule v času in prostoru. S subtilnim valovanjem pripovedi se osebe postopoma odpirajo in odnosi se poglabljajo, vprašanje umetne oploditve samskih žensk pa vse bolj stopa v ospredje. Kar se je prej zdelo zgolj Natsumijina radovednost, se prelevi v strah pred starostjo, samoto in v tesnobo. Odtujenost in manko skupnosti se zdita ključna razloga za njeno željo po otroku. Kljub feminističnim gibanjem na Japonskem, ki so ženskam izbojevala volilno pravico in možnost svobodne vključitve na trg dela, je biti samska ženska samohranilka pojav, ki zahteva redefinicijo koncepta družine. Sodobnost se znajde na razpotju, kjer družba ženskam omogoča kariero, a jih zasužnjuje z reproduktivnim skrbstvenim delom in vztraja pri svojih tradicionalnih vzorcih. Glavna junakinja s svojo intimno zgodbo izraža trk tega družbeno-zgodovinskega konflikta. Mesta, ženske in njihovo medsebojno prepletanje valovijo v skrajno natančnem popisovanju krajev in notranjega sveta Natsume, ki se ves čas pogovarja s prijateljicami in sodelavkami. Opisi občutij se gibljejo na površini in postopoma luščijo protagonistkino notranjost. Kraj nasilja in bolečine v romanu predstavlja tradicionalna družina, njen izvor je patriarhat, strukturno zapisan tako v moškemu kot tudi v ženski. Zdi se, da roman v svojem podtonu želi priznati, da patriarhata pač ne bomo izkoreninili, spremenimo pa lahko koncept družine. In na ta način morda nekoč na vrsto pride še patriarhat. Na meta ravni pa so Vsa moja poletja roman o nastajanju romana, saj protagonistka z njegovo zadnjo črko rodi zgodbo, ki smo jo pravkar prebrali.

En este episodio Jorge Espinosa y Mauricio Lleras desde Prólogo, llegan con nuevas lecturas, entre las recomendaciones está "Trilogía de Copenhague" de Tove Ditlevsen,  "Gente normal" de Sally Rooney, “Pechos y huevos” de Mieko Kawakami y “La desaparición” de Julia Philips. Mauricio habla del libro "Un largo camino a casa" de La serie de Armand Gamache, escrito por Louise Penny, también habla del Comisario Montalbano, personaje de las novelas escritas por Andrea Camilleri y su más reciente lectura "Los años de la niñez" del Nobel nigeriano Wole Soyinka. Bienvenidos a El Librero.

Der Roman, um den es in dieser Folge geht, heißt „Heaven“ und wurde von der japanischen Autorin Mieko Kawakami geschrieben. Es war ihr erster Roman nach diversen Gedichtbänden und erschien im Original schon im Jahr 2009. Der Dumont-Verlag hat ihn nun ins Deutsche übersetzt – vermutlich weil ihr letztes Buch „Brüste und Eier“ hierzulande ein veritabler Bestseller war. Der namenlose Ich-Erzähler des Buches ist 14 Jahre alt und wird täglich Opfer von Mobbing-Attacken. Vor allem sein Mitschüler Ninomiya denkt sich immer wieder neue Attacken auf. Der Erzähler wird verprügelt, beworfen, getreten und manchmal in perfide, sadistische Rituale einbezogen. Er glaubt, man hasse ihn, weil er schielt und sich hässlich fühlt und lässt das Mobbing über sich ergehen – weil das meistens weniger Schaden anrichtet, als wenn er sich wehrt. Diese Ausgangssituation ändert sich schon in den ersten Kapiteln. Denn plötzlich bekommt der namenlose Erzähler kleine Briefe von seiner Klassenkameradin Kojima. Ein stilles, oft ungewaschenes, dünnes Mädchen, das ebenfalls täglich gehänselt wird. „Wir gehören zur selben Sorte“ schreibt sie in ihrem ersten Brief. Warum dieses Buch bisweilen gnadenlos ist, aber am Ende irgendwie auch tröstlich erfahrt ihr in unserem Podcast. Alle Infos zum Buch findet ihr. https://www.dumont-buchverlag.de/buch/kawakami-heaven-9783832183745/

Mobbing an einer japanischen Mittelschule. Die 14-jährige Kojima läuft ungepflegt herum, und ihr bester Freund schielt. Tagtäglich werden die beiden von ihren Klassenkameraden beschmutzt, geschubst oder getreten. Während Kojima die Quälereien bewusst aushalten möchte, denkt ihr Freund aber darüber nach, sich gegen seine Peiniger zu wehren und sein schielendes Auge medizinisch richten zu lassen. „Heaven“ heißt der neue Roman von Mieko Kawakami, die vor zwei Jahren mit ihrem Roman „Brüste und Eier“ berühmt wurde. Befasste sie sich darin mit Schönheits-OPs und Künstlicher Befruchtung, geht es nun um Quälereien unter Schülern, in der wieder einmal eine Operation Erleichterung verschaffen könnte.

Tentokrát jsme se pustili do literární senzace, kterou velebí Haruki Murakami. Jak na nás Mieko Kawakami zapůsobila a co jsme se dozvěděli o životě žen v Japonsku?

Denn neben einem neuen Band seiner Krimi-Reihe um den hypersensiblen Kommissar Adam Danowski ist Till dieses Jahr gleich mit zwei anderen neuen Büchern präsent. Einmal mit dem persönlichen Essay "Bin ich schon depressiv oder ist das noch das Leben?". Und mit seinem im Berlin der 1980er Jahre spielenden Roman "Treue Seelen".

this week's text is a book review (!!!) of Mieko Kawakami's Breasts and Eggs! read the text here

Three Japanese women living in a tiny Tokyo apartments struggle to find peace in their lives as they deal with issues of partners, children and appearance. Hear a review of the novel “Breasts and Eggs” by best-selling Japanese author Mieko Kawakami.

Today we're talking with Tina deBellegarde about short stories, what makes a good short story, and why certain short story writers are so appealing. Tina has been nominated for the Agatha Award for Best First Novel, has a short story published in the Mystery Writers of America anthology called "When a Stranger Comes to Town," and most recently won the USA Prize in the Writers in Kyoto annual story competition.Amy congratulates Tina on her contest-winning entry called "Sound Travels" in the WiK writing competition, and Tina mentions that it can be read on the Writers in Kyoto website. Tina tells how the inspiration for the entry came from the current coronavirus situation which has prevented her (living in the US) from seeing her son, (living in Kyoto), for over a year and a half. Her piece was constructed from telephone conversations with her son amidst the background sounds of Kyoto City as he went about his daily activities.They start the topic of the podcast by highlighting some Japanese short story writers such as Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto, Hiromi Kawakami, Aoko Matsuda, and Kyoko Nakajima. and foreign writers, including Lafcadio Hearn and, more recently, Rebecca Otowa. Amy also mentions two short story collections from China, one by the well-known author Xu Xu called Bird Talk, and an anthology of flash fiction called The Pearl Jacket and Other Stories: Flash Fiction from Contemporary China  which prompts a discussion on flash fiction, which Tina defines for us and elaborates upon, including the works of Mieko Kawakami.Amy asks Tina who her favorite short story authors are and Tina identifies Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto as definite favorites. Amy decides to give listeners a bit of a taste of Yoshimoto and how she smoothly transitions into "another world" by reading from the introduction of the story "Newlywed" from the short story collection Lizard. Tina notes in this example that some of the best short stories start from such an encounter, or moment, after which, the world is never the same for the protagonist. Trains are often the scene of stories in Japan, since most people in Japan ride trains all throughout their lives and these movable settings involve a revolving door of different kinds of people who visit familiar places at which events can occur. Murakami does this too, especially as seen in the stories in his latest collection First Person Singular. Tina notes that in this sampling of works many of Murakami's moments are merely moments, without morphing into other worlds (the way many of his novels do).Tina admires Murakami for his adeptness at focusing on "small moments" and how he expands them into stories. She talks about his short story "The Second Bakery Attack," (from The Elephant Vanishes) then moves into "Carnaval" (from First Person Singular) and how Murakami contrasts beautiful and "ugly" women in this story (the latter of whom he envies for their skills in communicating and drawing people into their worlds). Amy mentions Books on Asia's Murakami Podcast and Issue, that lists all his books, including his short story collections and fun Murakami trivia.Tina reflects on the BOA Podcast 7: Richard Lloyd Parry and Ghosts of the Tsunami and how Parry said there were so many stories to tell, that he focused on a few that would stand in for all stories, which Tina identifies, is what a good short story should do: allow the reader to connect to the universality of a story. That's what Murakami does when he takes the reader into the everyday life of his characters, and immerses you, so you can connect to all the parts of their story.The discussion turns to some examples of Murakami encounters such as "With the Beatles," and "Carnaval" (from First Person Singular), “On Seeing the 100 percent Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning,” (from The Elephant Vanishes). Tina also mentions Naoya Shiga's story "All the Way to Abashiri" fromThe Paper Door collection that takes place on a train while the character considers the woman sitting across from him with her two small children, and wonders what her life is like, what her husband does for a living, etc.Amy notes that Japanese short stories don't always offer hard and fast conclusions and how the reader is expected to linger over endings and think about the possible endings themselves, given different clues from the author. Tina says Japanese literature is often slice-of-life vignettes, where the story starts in the middle and ends in the middle, with the ending left open.Amy observes that in addition to trains, another place that pops up a lot in Japanese literature as a backdrop is the thrift store. Many have read The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami, but there is also a thrift store in Kyoko Nakajima's just released collection Things Remembered and Things Forgotten in a piece called "The Life Story of a Sewing Machine." Amy elaborates on the elements that make this story so satisfying to readers such as herself.Another big topic of Japanese short stories is yōkai, or ghosts. They talk about Aoko Matsuda's recent release Where the Wild Ladies Are and how she re-invents traditional Japanese folktales into modern stories with strong women. Amy is hoping this a trend since the upcoming June release of Yamamba: In Search of the Japanese Mountain Witch also re-imagines the Yamamba as a strong woman rather than the scary old crone she is classically portrayed as.Tina and Amy discover they have two different versions of Where the Wild Ladies Are and they compare the U.K. version against the American edition, the latter of which gives much more background information on the origins of the original stories the works are based on.Amy also cites another hopeful trend: that of foreign writers penning short stories on Japan since they give different insights into Japanese culture than Japanese writers do. Lafcadio Hearn is known for his stories on explaining Japanese culture and ghosts, but writers like Rebecca Otowa, who write stories from the point of view of living and experiencing contemporary Japanese culture from a woman's point of view, in addition to being an outsider, is also important. Tina agrees and says that she read Otowa's At Home in Japan before her visit to Japan, and that Otowa was a clearer conduit for her to learn about Japanese customs. We talk about one story "The Turtle Stone" (from The Mad Kyoto Shoe Swapper) as an example of cultural cues we can glean from reading such stories.Lastly, Tina reveals what her favorite books on Japan are:Kyoto: Seven Paths to the Heart of the City by Diane DurstonKokoro by Natsume SōsekiUntangling My Chopsticks by Victoria Abbot RiccardiThe Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press, publisher of fine books on Asia for over 30 years.
