Reading Desire in a New Generation of Japanese Women Writers - A Special Collection of Essays

The book explores the writing of Japanese authors whose work has previously been underrepresented in English-language publications. The contributions feature from a diverse group of scholars from across the spectrum of the academic arena, from different regions of the world, and from different training backgrounds. Thanks to the diverse set of contributors, the book provides a fresh perspective to the ways in which we read and receive contemporary Japanese fiction.
