Book Synopsis



For readers who love Haruki Murakami and want to be introduced to other exciting contemporary Japanese writers, especially women writers.


MONKEY New Writing from Japan is an annual anthology that showcases the best of contemporary Japanese literature. Volume 2 celebrates TRAVEL -- we may not be able to travel much during this second year of the pandemic, but we can travel in our imaginations. MONKEY offers short fiction and poetry by writers such as Mieko Kawakami, Haruki Murakami, Hideo Furukawa, Hiromi Kawakami, Aoko Matsuda, and Kyohei Sakaguchi; new translations of modern classics; a graphic narrative by Satoshi Kitamura; and contributions from American writers such as Brian Evenson and Laird Hunt.




Review Quotes




"MONKEY is more fun than anything called literature has a right to be. Some of the most imaginative writing in the world just so happens to hail from Japan."

--Roland Kelts, Nikkei Asia


"An astonishment, by turns playful and profound, that makes you wish it were monthly."

--Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao


"MONKEY is full of deep, funny, wild, scary, fabulous, moving, surprising, brilliant work."

--Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome
