Join JSB to celebrate the launch of Volume 5 of MONKEY: New Writing from Japan, the only annual English-language anthology of Japanese contemporary literature.
Our program will be moderated by Roland Kelts, the Tokyo-based Japanese American author, editor, lecturer, and scholar who wrote our "Letters from Tokyo" series. As the contributing editor of MONKEY, Kelts will lead a conversation with Motoyuki Shibata, co-founder and editor of MONKEY, Tomoka Shibasaki, Akutagawa Prize–winning author of the forthcoming "A Hundred Years and a Day: 34 Stories," and poet/translator Leo Elizabeth Takada, whose work appears in MONKEY 5, and who translated the screenplay for the award-winning film Perfect Days, directed by Wim Wenders. Join us to discuss the current global boom in Japanese literature and the critical bridge-building mission of the MONKEY team.
This is a free hour-long presentation hosted on Zoom.
