Short Stories in Japanese: New Penguin Parallel Text

A dual-language edition of Japanese storiesâ€”many appearing in English for the first time
Â
This volume of eight short stories, with parallel translations, offers students at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary.
Â
The storiesâ€”many of which appear here in English for the first timeâ€”are by well-known writers like Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto, as well as emerging voices like Abe Kazushige, Ishii Shinji, and Kawakami Hiromi. From the orthodox to the cutting-edge, they represent a range of styles and themes, showcasing the diversity of Japanese fiction over the past few decades in a collection that is equally rewarding for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students of English or Japanese.
Â
Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.
