Question by msmiligan: Japanese literature?
I’ve recently discovered Japanese author Yoko Ogawa and was more than impressed by her novel Ringfinger (not translated into English (?)) and her short stories. I did not like her rather esoteric novel Museum of Silence (not translated into English (?)), though.
I also very much appreciated Kobo Abe’s Inter Ice Age 4 and did not like Banana Yoshimoto.
On my list are Yasushi Inoue’s Hunting Gun, Ice Wall (?), and Black Flood (?) and Murakami’s Hard-Boiled Wonderland.
Can you recommend any other books by the above mentioned authors (except for Murakami) or other (important) Japanese authors?

Best answer:

Answer by cloud
I like to read Eiji Yoshikawa books such as Taiko and Musashi

Shmoop (www.shmoop.com), a publisher of digital resources that make learning fun and relevant for students, today announced that it has added thousands of photos to enhance its online US history, civics, and literature Learning Guides. Shmoop also made a slideshow Widget available, so anyone can embed a miniature version of any Shmoop photo slideshow on their own website.

“Students love looking at photos online – it’s a very engaging activity that helps bring lessons to life. Shmoop has amassed a terrific photo collection all in one place for teachers and students,” said Mike Shumake, teacher at North Carolina Virtual Public School and 2009 Online Teacher of the Year for North Carolina. “I particularly like that Shmoop allows me to embed the photos on my classroom web page or blog, just like I post YouTube videos.”

Shmoop made photo slideshows available for:

    All 60 US History Learning Guides
    All 11 Civics Learning Guides
    43 of its Literature Learning Guides

Highlights include:

    Presidents Photos, which includes portraits of all 43 U.S. Presidents
    WWII Photos, which includes 50 photos from D-Day to war propaganda, to the bombing of Nagasaki
    Hamlet Photos, which includes paintings inspired by the play and portraits of famous stage actors who have taken on the play

“Plenty of people in the publishing world fear that new media and the Internet will kill interest in reading literary fiction. Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum, however, think of Twitter, YouTube and the iPad as opportunities to introduce new audiences to the art of the short story — and to tell stories in unique ways. They are the founders of Electric Literature, a quarterly literary magazine that publishes using a print-on-demand model and also offers digital versions via e-book, the Kindle e-reader, the iPhone and audio. In addition, Electric Literature uses multimedia to enhance stories by well-known authors — including Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham (The Hours) and MacArthur “genius” grant winner Colson Whitehead (Sag Harbor) — through collaborations with animators, filmmakers and musicians. The endeavor was the first to publish to the iPhone, the first to create a YouTube channel and the first to serialize a short story using Twitter.”
