(★)(1.Fresh, bold, and vibrant,´Inside and other short fiction´ paints a vivid portrait of the lives of contemporary Japanese women through the most original, thoughtful, and cutting-edge fiction from Japanese women writers today. With provocative titles such as ´Piss´,´The Unfertilized Egg´, and ´My Son´s Lips´, these eight short stories explore the issue of female identity in a rapidly changing society, where women have unprecedented sexual and economic freedom. From teens to fifties ; married, single, divorced ; the high school girl, the career woman, the sex worker, the housewife, the mother --this anthology deals frankly and explicitly with a broad range of women´s experiences, and showcases the very best of recent writing by Japanese women. 2.With eight short stories from Amy Yamada, Chiya Fujino, Shungiku Uchida, Tamaki Daido, Rio Shimamoto, Yuzuki Muroi, Junko Hasegawa, and Nobuko Takagi, this anthology presents a range of styles and perspectives from long-established favorites, prize-winning novelists, and outspoken newcomers --many of whom are published here for the first time in English. The foreword is by award-winning Japanese-American novelist Ruth Ozeki, author of ´My Year of Meats´, and the jacket art is a section of ID400 by internationally renowned artist Tomoko Sawada, whose striking photo-booth images of herself in various guises question her own identity and the identity of all women.)(Los Titulos : ◆1.「Milk (ミルク)」(Miruku, 2004)〜大道珠貴(Tamaki Daido) ◆2.「Inside」(idem, 2004)〜島本理生(Rio Shimamoto) ◆3.「Piss (ピス)」(Pisu, 1997)〜室井佑月(Yuzuki Muroi) ◆4.「My Son´s Lips (息子の唇)」(Musuko no kuchibiru, 2000)〜内田春菊(Shungiku Uchida) ◆5.「Her Room (彼女の部屋)」(Kanojo no heya, 2003)〜藤野千夜(Chiya Fujino) ◆6.「Fiesta (フィエスタ)」(Fiesuta, 2001)〜山田詠美(Amy Yamada) ◆7.「The Unfertilized Egg (無精卵)」(Museiran, 2004)〜長谷川純子(Junko Hasegawa) ◆8.「The Shadow of the Orchid (蘭の影)」(Ran no kage, 1998)〜高樹のぶ子(Nobuko Takagi)) |
