Hey thanks for adding me to your interesting library. Yours is sublime. I am in the beginning of my endeavor. I have some kind of fascination for all things Japanese. So different than anything in my cultural background but shattering to the status quo. Like sitting in the desert after a lifetime of trees. Ravendory
I didn't know you were interested in Victor Shklovsky (sp?). I read "Theory of Prose" a few years ago and quite liked it, though I have to say that it didn't make a very lasting impression. Narrative defamiliarization as an expressive technique didn't seem like a new idea to me, but I didn't read very deeply.
Just use 'JET Book Exchange' or 'Exchange' or something. (I'm presuming you're not looking to get rid of all of the titles you've listed :)) Thanks.
Hi, could please tag the books you are prepared to exchange for the JET Book Exchange group? We don't want to both you about stuff that's part of your library. Thanks.
Todd Shimoda's "365 Virews of Mt. Fugi" is subtitled "Algorithms of the Floating World." It's a large format book, published in 1998 by Stone Bridge Press (Berkeley, CA). It is the story of Keizo Yukawa, a modern young man, but also of Takenoko, an artist from 1830-45 (and people connected to both of them). Each page has separate narratives of these characters and readers must decide in what order to follow the life/lives. I have been fascinated by it, and wonder how you would react to it. Esta1923
I'm keen to hear what your view of Dazai is.
His personal narratives, as well as his fiction, have really grabbed me.
Steve Reich's sonic canvasses are sublime.

Would be a real pleasure to build some sounds together should I ever come to Hiroshima.
Unfortunately, some J-Lit, too, was surrendered because of space restrictions.

I will be performing "abstract" guitar (organic-sounding pulses and noises. etc.) at a Tokyo gallery.
Kodansha's encyclopedia is an exquisite resource.
Should be a delight to discuss J-lit.
Japan, in general, too.
(I have a show in Tokyo in October)
My collection, well, lamentably plummeted because I recently rented the roof of a nice old house wherein I could barely squeeze myself - (my bed was atop my wardrobe) - so, alas, crying, I parted with 250-odd books.
Admirable collection, signature103.
