Writers in Kyoto Anthology – Now on Amazon

February 6, 2018 By Michael Lambe


Kyoto’s busiest man of letters, John Dougill, has written in to say that the Writers in Kyoto Anthology for 2017 is now up on the Amazon website. Here’s the blurb:

This anthology collects writings by established and new writers associated with Kyoto. The contents range widely from fiction to non-fiction: an extract from a novel, a short story, and a fantasy; articles on child-rearing, ceramics, the tokonoma, and the spirit of rocks; contemporary free verse, poetry with a Taoist flavor, and new translations of Basho. Also included are three winning entries from the Writers in Kyoto Competition, and two longer pieces about that giant of Japanology, Lafcadio Hearn, who continues to cast a shadow more than a hundred years after his death. Rounding out the anthology is an essay by Alex Kerr, leading commentator on present-day Japan, together with illustrations by award-winning designer, John Einarsen.

And you can order it right here: Echoes: Writers in Kyoto Anthology 2017
