SUMMARY:Parallel Worlds: Translating Genres
DESCRIPTION:Parallel Worlds: Translators Behind the Scenes\nOn the other side of every book in translation is a translator connecting the two different cultures\, bringing not only the words of that parallel world into English\, but also its thoughts\, values\, and viewpoints. In this series of discussions\, we talk to translators of literary fiction\, manga\, genre fiction\, and children’s literature to tease out the challenges and thrills of bringing a wide variety of Japanese works to English readers. \n\nParallel Worlds: Translating Genres from Japan\nDate: Thursday\, August 26\, 2021\nTime: 8:00 PM (ET)\nPanelists: Takami Nieda and Emily Balistrieri\nModerator: Rachel Cordasco\nVenue: Online \n  \nCrime\, science fiction\, fantasy\, romance\, horror… Genre fiction is big business in English\, but what about in Japanese? What kind of representation does Japanese genre fiction have in the English market? The hurdles translators face in bringing these books to North American readers can be quite different from literary fiction. So how do they navigate this publishing niche to bring us the best of Japanese genre fiction? What are some of the specific challenges they face in translating these fantastical worlds into English? Join us as we talk to leading genre translators and learn what lies behind the curtain. \nWriter\, translator and editor Rachel Cordasco (Out of This World\, SFinT Translation.com) goes on a deep dive with acclaimed translators Takami Nieda (Cage of Zeus\, Noble V: Greylancer) and Emily Balistrieri (Kiki’s Delivery Service\, The Night is Short\, Walk On Girl) to bring us the real story. \nWatch here >  \n \nWe love to hear your feedback!!   Feedback \n  \n\n \nAbout Takami Nieda \nBorn in New York City\, Takami Nieda was formerly assistant professor at Sophia University in Tokyo\, and currently teaches writing and translation at Seattle Central College in the U.S. She has translated more than ten works from Japanese into English and has received numerous grants and residencies in support of her translations\, including the PEN/Heim Translation Fund.

SUMMARY:JFT Book Club Online: Heaven by Mieko Kawakami\, moderated by Kris Kosaka
DESCRIPTION:For the upcoming JFT Book Club Online\, we will discuss Heaven (ヘヴン) written by Mieko Kawakami\, the highly-acclaimed author of Breasts and Eggs (夏物語). \nThursday\,  August 12\, 2021 @ 4:00PM – 5:00PM (EDT) \nHeaven by Mieko Kawakami is available for circulation on JFT OverDrive.  \nSign in with your library card to borrow or to place a hold. To get a new library card or to renew your existing card\, please follow the instructions found here. \nThe event will be moderated by guest writer Kris Kosaka. \n  \nJFT Library Book Club will be conducted through Zoom. Please email the library at library@jftor.org to reserve your seat.\nPrior to the meeting\, an email will be sent to you with a website link and log-in password to enter the online Zoom meeting.\nPlease be aware that space may be limited. \nIf you have any questions or concerns\, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email. \nThank you for participating! \n\n  \nHeaven by Mieko Kawakami\nEuropa Editions\, 2021 \nA bold foray into new literary territory\, Kawakami’s novel is told in the voice of a 14-year-old student subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting\, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. \nThese raw and realistic portrayals of bullying are counterbalanced by textured exposition of the philosophical and religious debates concerning violence to which the weak are subjected. \n\nWriter Kris Kosaka moved to Japan in 1996 to accept a position teaching high school English at an international school. She fell in love with the country and soon met her future husband\, Makoto. They made their home in Kamakura\, where Kris continued teaching and writing while raising their two children. Although temporarily in Tampa\, FL (her hometown) while their daughter completes her high school education in the States\, Kris’s heart is in Japan. In her spare time\, Kris enjoys reading and running. Kris is a frequent contributor to The Japan Times\, and a regular columnist for their Books pages. \n\nPrevious Book Clubs\n\nJFT Book Club Online: Manga – June 10\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Bring Your Own Book – April 8\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: The Memory Police – February 11\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Breasts and Egg – November 5\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Travel Japan – August 20\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online – June 11\, 2020 \n\n\nMemoirs of a Polar Bear – February 20\, 2020 \n\nThe Little House – December 12\, 2019 \n\nMystery Book Club – October 10\, 2019 \n\nMovies and Books – August 8\, 2019 \n\n\nBooks and Tea – June 6\, 2019
