A wonderful review of SISTERS IN YELLOW by @HackettLaura has just been published. I’m deeply moved by its thoughtful and attentive reading, and so happy to see Tommy Cat (ニャー兄) mentioned💫🥰 "─This is not the Japan you find in novels about cats, cafés and bookshops. Kawakami draws back this cosy façade to reveal the grimy reality underneath — and she does it with consummate style. With Sisters in Yellow, she proves she is still the most exciting Japanese novelist at work today." #Echobox=1773882367" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/culture/books/…

So sad to hear about the death of the great poet, Michael Longley. Years ago, I wrote a piece about him for a student magazine - he sent me this beautiful Christmas card with a poem inside

Hello publishers 🙋🏻‍♀️ We’re putting together our end-of-year “literary non-fiction” list, the category for book lovers. What author memoirs, literary biographies or literary studies have you published this year that we should be thinking about? Thank you!
