Publisher's Synopsis
Japanese fiction in translation is exploding in popularity and winning awards — from Yu Miri's Tokyo Ueno Station, which won a 2020 National Book Award in Translated Literature and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year to Mieko Kawakami's Breasts and Eggs, which was also recognized as a New York Times Notable Book and TIME magazine's 10 Best Books of 2020. Japanese women writers have really taken off. MONKEY is known for championing women writers, such as Mieko Kawakami, Hiromi Ito, Hiromi Kawakami, and Kikuko Tsumura. MONKEY is a beautifully designed, full-color, large-format annual anthology, featuring graphic narratives and commissioned illustrations throughout.
