Kanai, Mieko
, 1947-   金井 美惠子

Japanese writer
entry from Wikipedia
Kanai Mieko (1947-), arguably the most able and strategically aware writer of poetry and prose fiction in contemporary Japan, demonstrates a keen consciousness of corporeality-or the body's command of space-manifest in gesture, fashion and other rhetorical measures not limited to speech and writing, which one might attribute to her intimacy with French new wave film. Constant references to material and physical detail, which makes her work appear deceptively accessible, do not remain simply descriptive: they are purposely selected and arranged in order to subtly communicate the semiology of space as articulated by Jean Baudrillard, coordinating and coordinated by the rhetoric of the verbal.

"Boshizo" (Portrait of Mother and Child, 1972

Kanai Mieko is a Tokyo-based poet, essayist, film critic and storywriter. Her collected short stories were published in Japan in 1992, and the stories that make up the "When Treading on Soft Earth" series will be published there in 1997.

亚裔/华裔美国人集中在加州,华裔美国作家也多出在加州。被称为“华裔美国文学之母”的黄玉雪(Jade Snow Wong,1922-)和已经走进美国主流文学圈的汤亭亭(Maxine Hong Kingston,1940-)在加州,大名鼎鼎的谭恩美(Amy Tan, 1952-)和赵健秀(Frank Chin,1940-)在加州,90年代走红的李健孙(Gus Lee,1947-)、雷祖威(David Wong Louie,1955-)和梁志英(Russell Leong,1950-)也在加州。王文思 (Katharine Wang, 1986- ) 好像一株小苗,在华裔美国文学浓郁的氛围

现在华裔美国文学队伍里,年轻的成名女小说家伍慧明(Fae Myenne Ng,1957-)和张岚(Lan Samantha Chang,1965-)已经三、四十岁了,而王文思今年才十八岁。如果以黄玉雪的年龄为起点,20年算一代的话,王文思应当是第四代人,黄玉雪可算是她 的太祖母作家。即使按照赵健秀对亚裔/华裔美国文学最严格的界定 ,王文思作为亚裔/华裔美国作家完全够格,因为对亚裔/华裔美国文学批评作出重大贡献的林英敏(Amy Ling, 1939—99) 生于北京,六岁时被父母带到美国,1954年才取得美国国籍。现在谁也没有怀疑她作为杰出华裔美国作家的身份

Kunio Kishida - Three Plays - Paper Balloon, New Cherry Leaves. Love Phobia translated by Masako Yuasa.
ISBN 0 9516557 4 4 (pages 80, £3.75)
Kunio Kishida (1890-1954) was born in Tokyo as the first-born son of a military family. Although he started a career in the military, he disliked it and became an academic in the field of French literature. He wrote a number of plays, novels and criticisms whilst also translating French novels and plays into Japanese. He was a founder member of the Literature Theatre Company (Bungaku Za) and staged original Japanese plays as well as those from the West. Kishida's distinctive theatrical style, sometimes described as 'Photographic Realism', together with his sophisticated perspective on Japanese identity, served to influence a succession of other Japanese playwrights. Amongst his plays the best known in his native country are Autumn in Tirol (1924), Paper Balloon (1926), The Shower (1926), Diary of Falling Leaves (1927), Two Daughters of Mr. Sawa (1935), A Warm Current (1943), Hayamizu Girls School (1948) etc. The annual Kunio Kishida Play Award (Kishida Kunio Gikyoku-shô) is regarded as the most prestigious prize for young playwrights and to win the prize is to gain recognition as a professional playwright in Japan today.
