![]() ![]() Izumi Suzuki was a big name in Japanese SFF, a writer with a style all of her own, and Anglophone readers now have the chance to sample her work in the form of Terminal Boredom (review copy courtesy of Verso Books and their Australian distributor Bloomsbury). It’s a new release, by a woman who was very much her own writer, and while she sadly passed away back in 1986, the stories she left behind very much reflect the way we live now… With that in mind, today’s choice might well be one on many people’s radars. Having arrived in July, we can see August’s Women in Translation Month on the horizon, and I’m already considering my choices for this year’s event (of which a few will be Japanese, of course). ![]()
