I am a Japanese Writer

[BlogSpy]

I reviewed Dany Laferrière's I am a Japanese Writer a while back, and it's now been translated into English. Despite Laferrière's nearby connection -- he's from Haiti, and lives in Canada -- there haven't been any US reviews I've come across -- but what do I find now ? a review in The Australian.
The Australian !
Yes, sometimes the state of reviewing in the US does worry me .....

I have always been inspired with Japanese writers as they really take a lot of credit to nature though there are a lot of people who pull that off as well. But the innate characteristic and the way they lean on it is just nice.

Over the course of 2 years, I have been able to talk to some Japanese novelists and they really are interesting, though I am not claiming for them to be the best out there.
