    “明日は明日の風が吹く”
    “Tomorrow, tomorrow’s wind will blow.”
    UPCOMING EVENT : JAPANESE LITERATURE BOOK MONTH
    Fiction by Japanese Women Writers
    The JFND Library in Japanese Literature Book
    Month is celebrating the writings and novels of
    Japanese women authors.
    In the early years of the 11th century, Lady
    Murasaki Shikibu, a poet and noblewoman at the
    Imperial Court in Kyoto, put ink brush to
    paper and began writing the tumultuous life of an
    imaginary prince called Genji. By the time she was
    done, she had written the world’s first novel, The
    Tale of Genji.
    In the centuries since, Japan has produced more
    than its share of female literary pioneers, in
    every conceivable genre and style, and that
    vibrant tradition can be seen today. *

    “Maybe there's a place out there where people whose hearts aren't empty can go on
    living.” ― Yōko Ogawa, The Memory Police

    BOOK’S RECOMMANDATION FOR AUGUST MONTH

    The Emissary
    Yoko Tawada’s new novel is a breathtakingly light-hearted meditation on mortality and
    fully displays what Rivka Galchen has called her “brilliant, shimmering, magnificent
    strangeness”

    The Honjin Murders


    One of Japan's greatest classic murder mysteries, introducing their best loved detective,
    translated into English for the first time .

    Totto-Chan : The Little Girl at the Window


    This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an ideal school in Tokyo during
    World War II that combined learning with fun, freedom, and love.

    Hardboiled & Hard Luck


    Like twins whose paths diverge dramatically, these two gentle stories share little beyond the
    mesmerizing voice of their creator. Yoshimoto once again portrays strong-minded young
    women coping with heartbreak, traumatic family fissures, drastic illness, and fatalities.

    The Housekeeper & The Profess0r


    Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it
    means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.
