In today's edition of the Nikkei Shimbun, I wrote about that essay, "A Reading Technique That's Half a Step Behind," which is so fresh and interesting that it's hard to believe it was written over 50 years ago.

Uncle Saunders was recently awarded the National Book Award for Outstanding Contributions to American Literature. ㊗️ Because of his friendly demeanor, I tend to call him "Uncle" (or even "Otchan"), but he's actually a very important figure! Sorry! Congratulations 👏

I didn't know that Sarah Jessica Parker was one of the judges for this year's Booker Prize. However, I've heard that if you are selected, you have to read a ton of books, which is extremely difficult.

Today, November 12th, is Lucia Berlin's birthday and the anniversary of her death. If she were still alive, she would be 89 years old this year, and would surely still be busy writing novels. I'm currently working hard to translate the remaining short stories that have not yet been published in book form.

Speaking of Diane Keaton, this is my favorite scene. The scene at the end of "The First Wives Club" where she dances with Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn to "You Don't Own Me." I feel so sad.

Today, August 27th, is the birthday of British author Jeanette Winterson 🎂㊗️🎉 It's been 23 years since I translated her debut novel, "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit." In 2019, her novel "Frankisstein" was longlisted for the Booker Prize, and she's been going strong ever since (like this below) 📚
