Memory is not History; it’s Story—as much reflection as it is reinvention. Over the centuries, Japan' s own story has been driven by relentless reinventions. Join us for an evening of transformative storytelling to celebrate the worldwide launch of MONKEY: New Writing from Japan, Vol. 7 – Memory, the annual anthology featuring the best of contemporary Japanese literature, with award-winning authors Hiromi Itō and Yūshō Takiguchi and their brilliant translators Jeffrey Angles and Kendall Heitzman, hosted by editors Roland Kelts and Motoyuki Shibata.
This free, hour-long session will include a presentation and opportunities for audience Q&A. Pre-registration is required.
