Representing The Other In Modern Japanese Literature
Since I'm interested in the intersection of fiction and politics, I found the introductory essay by editor Nahid Mozaffari very illuminating, and I also appreciated the short biographies of each author included before the selection of his or her work. While I don't generally enjoy book length collections of short stories by one author (it seems like a cop-out when they could have used the space to write a novel), I do find that I like collections of stories by a variety of authors. It's a great way to look at an issue or area from a wider range of viewpoints, and also a good chance to discover new authors.
Strange Times, My Dear contains both short stories and poetry, and I found that I enjoyed the poetry especially as I considered how translation complicates understanding poems.
