So we’re into 2020 and I’m gearing up for the launch of The Only Gaijin in the Village in March. Expect lots of events in the UK, Japan and, hopefully, some other places, as well as the usual social media flurry. In the meantime, here are a couple of pieces I did for the Japan Times: A review of Seishi Yokomizo’s The Honjin Murders, translated by Louise Heal Kawai here, and a look ahead to the translations and books about Japan to look out for in 2020 here.
Be right back!
