I'm interested in reading a new book of literature related to the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami that is scheduled to be published simultaneously in Japanese, English, and French. Below are links to articles from Asahi Japan Watch (E) and Asahi Shimbun (J).
Collections of literary works on quake to hit U.S., Britain, France
東日本大震災テーマの日本文学作品集、米英仏で出版へ
I confess that generally I'm reluctant to read this kind of thing because it's often too powerful, but it may be that I can use something in it for my classes, so I'll give it a try.
The 3.11 disaster is so overwhelming. I'm trying to understand it/know about it just a little. Perhaps the stories in this book might help.
