For readers who want to be introduced to exciting contemporary Japanese writers, especially women (Mieko Kawakami, Aoko Matsuda, and more).
MONKEY New Writing from Japan is an annual anthology that showcases the best of contemporary Japanese literature. Volume 3 celebrates CROSSINGS: Transitioning Out of the Pandemic, we are inspired by stories of transformation and the joyful play between Japanese and Western literatures. MONKEY offers short fiction and poetry by writers such as Mieko Kawakami, Haruki Murakami, Hiromi Kawakami, and Aoko Matsuda; a graphic narrative by Satoshi Kitamura; and contributions from Stuart Dybek and Matthew Sharpe.
MONKEY is more fun than anything called literature has a right to be. Some of the most imaginative writing in the world just so happens to hail from Japan.”
—Roland Kelts, Nikkei Asia
