Manazuru (2006) – KAWAKAMI Hiromi | A Novel Approach
https://matttodd.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/mamazuru-2006-kawakami-hiromi
Shadow Man Asian Literary Prize. Manazuru (2006) – KAWAKAMI Hiromi. The Japanese Literature Publishing Project. Is a Japanese Government program dedicated to promoting Japanese literature in translation. A noble goal, to be sure, but if this novel is anything to go by, they might want to rethink the texts they’re putting on their recommendation lists. Kawakami, though, refuses to give her character (or her readers) any closure. About halfway through, there’s a slight hint that, actually Kei already k...
Masks (1958) – ENCHI Fumiko | A Novel Approach
https://matttodd.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/masks-1958-enchi-fumiko
Shadow Man Asian Literary Prize. Masks (1958) – ENCHI Fumiko. Recommended to me by a colleague, this is the last of my January in Japan reviews. Any keen readers will have noted that I have managed to get through the month reviewing only female authors this was deliberate, and I hope to do it again in the future. Perhaps the best place to begin the discussion is the title. Though translated as Masks in English, the Japanese title, 女面 (. So we arrive at the end, and are still not quite sure which plan was...

The Goddess Chronicle (2008) – KIRINO Natsuo | A Novel Approach
https://matttodd.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/the-goddess-chronicle-2008-kirino-natsuo
Shadow Man Asian Literary Prize. The Goddess Chronicle (2008) – KIRINO Natsuo. Many creation myths rely on a man. Those that don’t like the one laid down in the. Requires the woman to know her place: subservient to the man. Indeed, in the text of the Japanese creation myth itself, the woman is punished for speaking out of turn. She literally is not allowed to have thoughts or ideas before the man does. Needless to say, this has informed a great deal of contemporary Japanese society. In. I actually rather...

Review: Transatlantic | eleutherophobia
https://eleutherophobia.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/review-transatlantic
Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. September 26, 2013. Wild country. Broken fences. Ruined Castles. Stretches of bogland. Wooded headlands. Turfsmoke rose from cabins, thin and mean. There are moments of true brilliance in this novel: here, for example, is a first sight of 19th century New York: ‘. It’s a primitive city, aware of its own shortcomings, its shirt stained, its teeth plaqued, its zip open. 8216; – and later – ‘. New York appeared like a cough of blood. Laquo; The Fryup Flyweight.

His most conventional novel), Murakami's fame skyrocketed t...

The blog of Matt. Friday, April 27, 2007. T's getting close, people. Very close. In just about 24 hours we will know the fates of Brady Quinn. And the Washington Redskins'. Future at the 2007 NFL Draft. In all liklihood, the sixth pick of the draft, held by the 'Skins, will go to a defensive lineman. But which one? Or maybe 19-year-old Amobi Okoye. And if they are met with a miracle, Gaines Adams. Marred by a discouraging draft past, the Redskins need to grab a sure thing. Go with Johnson, Mr. Davis&...

A Novel Approach | thoughts on books
Shadow Man Asian Literary Prize. Booker Prize 2015: Shortlists and Winners. You’ll notice there are three books missing from my reviews over the past three days – I have read them, but just couldn’t bring myself to expend any energy on writing about them:. Is an average example of a dystopian future, and. Forgets that a novel has to have emotional heft as well as intellectual. I’m still worried the Americans have invaded:. Did you ever have a family. A brief history of seven killings. And that’s it!
