  • Okay, I didn't include Murakami ... but I have a list of 12 authors and I'm on a mission to see if one of the biggest British book chains has their work in stock. How many do you think I'll find? Who else should I be looking out for?
    Also, see my dinner I had at the end, it was sooo tasty!!
    I'm really getting into Japanese fiction and will do a few more videos on my growing book collection soon!

      It’s a great one, though my favourite Waterstones must be the one by UCL in Euston 😱 like a library

    If anyone wants to look them up:
    Yasunari Kawabata - Snow Country
    Yuko Tsushima - Territory of Light
    Mizuki Tsujimura - Lonely castle in the mirror
    Takashi Hiraide - The guest cat
    Yoko Ogawa - The memory police
    Natsuko Imamura - The woman in the purple skirt
    Toshikazu Kawaguchi - Before the coffee gets cold
    Seicho Matsumoto - Tokyo Express
    Miri Yu - Tokyo Ueno Station
    Yukio Mishima - The sailor who fell from grace with the sea
    (Couldn't understand the 11th one at 2:19 )
    Sayaka Murata - Convenience store woman

      I suggest Junichiro Tanizaki books. He’s like the Japanese Honore de Balzac.
