The popular cozy and quirky fiction showed no signs of decline, but there were two big surprises from two ghostly figures — Uketsu and Osamu Dazai. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/12/14/books/japanese-literature-2025/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #books #japaneseliterature #2025inreview #translatedliterature #fiction #uketsu #osamudazai #sayakamurata #akutagawaprize

The pleasantest of surprises this morning. Thank you! And hey, UK folks, maybe consider making it a Strange Christmas! (Ahem, apparently royalties are figured in March, so... WINK WINK) #Books #Uketsu #StrangePictures

Strange Translations

Did I post this? I thought I posted this... Anyway! Strange Houses at Waterstones, Strange Pictures at Foyles. British #book stores sure do love #Uketsu!

Just my translations of #Uketsu on a list of Indie bookshop bestsellers, alongside (above?) Richard Osman and Stephen King #books is all. It's killing me that I don't get royalties for US sales... 😭 www.bookweb.org/news/indie-m...

I'm a Japanese to English #translator whose "general" work has vanished, but I do cultural articles (like on Nippon.com) etc. Lately, I've been translating novels, especially the mystery/horror works of author #Uketsu: Strange Houses, Strange Pictures, and coming soon, Strange Buildings! Click it!

Strange Houses was the book of the day on this New Zealand Herald...podcast? Program? Dunno. I'm not a subscriber so I can't listen but I hope the guy had good things to say! #Books #Uketsu #StrangeHouses

@jimrion.com FYI details of the queue for Uketsu’s books in the Singapore National Library. Congratulations! I read Strange Pictures in one night and I thought the translation was excellent.
