FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The third book of our well-received Speculative Japan series, this volume brings more outstanding authors from the Japanese archipelago to English, with a selection of never-before published stories covering a broad range of speculative fiction...from gritty SF to dark fantasy, enjoy a whole new dimension of the imagination! Author Biography Born in 1950, Masaki Yamada has been one of the most honored authors in Japanese science fiction. He won the Nihon SF Taisho Award, Japans equivalent of the Nebula, in 1982 for The Last Enemy. He also won the Seiun--the Japanese Hugo--four times, most recently for his alternate history novel, Kishin Corps, later adapted into an anime through Geneon Entertainment. Review ...this is a collection of really wonderful stories. None of them were bad, and if a few were a little less elegant or impressive than the others, they are more than balanced by the overall high quality of the selections. I was very happy to see the translators getting such prominent recognition, as all these stories are easily readable and very atmospheric, with none of the awkwardness that sometimes plagues hasty translations.--Karen Burnham, Locus...everythings up for grabs in this cocktail mixer of genres. The mournful and the comic, the abstract and the scientific, the realistic and the caricatured, all can be found in Speculative Japan 3. [...] the Japanese cultures influence on the process of fantasy creation is something made accessible to the international reader in this rich collection.--David Labi, MetropolisIn a collection that contains stories about lovers who are disembodied and digitized, stories where "heart of darkness" is not a figure of speech, stories where Tsugaru shamans intersect with cutting-edge science, and a great deal more, there must be something for everyone. Thats only speculation, though. Youll enjoy confirming it for yourself.--David Cozy, Japan TimesSpeculative Japan 3 is finally here, and its everything I hoped it would be: a diverse collection of intelligent and beautifully translated short stories. As both an anthology of contemporary science fiction and an anthology of contemporary Japanese literature, Speculative Japan 3 succeeds brilliantly in collecting not the newest or the most popular, but rather the most interesting and the best written.--Kathryn Hemmann, Contemporary Japanese Literature blog Details ISBN490207530X Author Sayuri Ueda Pages 292 Publisher Kurodahan Press Language English ISBN-10 490207530X ISBN-13 9784902075304 Media Book Subtitle Silver Bullet and Other Tales Short Title SPECULATIVE JAPAN 3 Birth 1950 Year 2012 Publication Date 2012-11-30 Imprint Kurodahan Press Country of Publication Japan Illustrations black & white illustrations Format Paperback UK Release Date 2012-11-30 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
