Asami works for a paid-peepshow website whereby cameras are set up in her room so that men can watch her all day long and have her wear sexy outfits that they sent her. Although Asami is used to receiving gifts from multiple fans, the stalker has sent her a hundred letters, his own resume (with his true identity & photo), and even a wedding dress with doctored photos of him and her in a wedding picture. Makoto decides to face the stalker, under one condition: Asami must not be present during the discussion as it will excite the stalker. On the day of the meeting in a caf , everything looks as if it is going Makoto's way...until Asami shows up, yelling at him in front of everyone and pours an ice cream parfait on his head, telling him how he gives her the creeps. This is the beginning of the true terror that awaits Asami.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quand je suis sur la même longueur d'ondes que les bruits de la rue, je deviens une partie de la ville, comme un caillou ou une feuille morte. C'est pas si mal de vivre tapi dans les tréfonds d'Ikebukuro, même sans argent, sans rêve, et sans fille. Qui attendrait d'un caillou qu'il se repente, et qui voudrait le transformer en diamant ? Makoto a vingt ans et quand l ne tient pas un petit étal de fruits avec sa mère, il démêle les embrouilles de son quartier de Tôkyô et vient en aide aux mômes perdus d'Ikebukuro. Oh, pas par grandeur d'âme. C'est juste que j'ai l'impression de me voir dans un miroir. Par l'épaisseur de ses personnages, la qualité de leurs interrogations, les préoccupations sociales dans le quartier, Ishida Ira a écrit un excellent polar, couronné au Japon et ayant inspiré un manga lu dans le monde entier. C'est typiquement le genre de roman que vous regrettez de finir et dont vous espérez ardemment une suite tellement vous avez été séduit et captivé.

Book excerpt: Bienvenue à Ikebukuro West Gate Park. Un square ouvert aux aventuriers urbains, à la sortie ouest de la gare d'Ikebukuro. C'est là que Makoto et ses amis ont établi leur QG. Makoto a dix-neuf ans, et c'est un trouble shooter, un «solutionneur d'embrouilles». Des embrouilles, il n'en manque pas dans ce quartier où se rencontrent gamins à la dérive, yakuzas, filles perdues et clandestins dans le Japon de l'envers. Avec pour seules armes son énergie et sa débrouillardise, Makoto résout les énigmes, vient en aide à ceux qui sont dans la détresse, et tente de ramener la paix dans les rues menacées par une sanglante guerre des gangs... Si Ikebukuro West Gate Park a obtenu le Grand Prix de littérature policière au Japon, il dépasse de loin le cadre du roman policier. Quand on referme le livre, on a l'impression de connaître par coeur ce quartier de Tôkyô, chacune de ses ruelles où se côtoient bars à karaoké et love-hôtels, on s'est attaché à chacun de ses habitants. Par petites touches incisives d'un pinceau très rapide, Ishida Ira a produit une oeuvre extrêmement originale, dont la toile de fond plutôt noire s'éclaire de soudaines bourrasques de soleil.

Download or read book The Factory written by Hiroko Oyamada and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English-language debut of Hiroko Oyamada—one of the most powerfully strange young voices in Japan The English-language debut of one of Japan's most exciting new writers, The Factory follows three workers at a sprawling industrial factory. Each worker focuses intently on the specific task they've been assigned: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. But their lives slowly become governed by their work—days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while—it could be weeks or years—the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: What am I doing here? With hints of Kafka and unexpected moments of creeping humor, The Factory casts a vivid—and sometimes surreal—portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.
Book Synopsis Bending Adversity by : David Pilling
Download or read book Bending Adversity written by David Pilling and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A]n excellent book...” —The Economist Financial Times Asia editor David Pilling presents a fresh vision of Japan, drawing on his own deep experience, as well as observations from a cross section of Japanese citizenry, including novelist Haruki Murakami, former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, industrialists and bankers, activists and artists, teenagers and octogenarians. Through their voices, Pilling's Bending Adversity captures the dynamism and diversity of contemporary Japan. Pilling’s exploration begins with the 2011 triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown. His deep reporting reveals both Japan’s vulnerabilities and its resilience and pushes him to understand the country’s past through cycles of crisis and reconstruction. Japan’s survivalist mentality has carried it through tremendous hardship, but is also the source of great destruction: It was the nineteenth-century struggle to ward off colonial intent that resulted in Japan’s own imperial endeavor, culminating in the devastation of World War II. Even the postwar economic miracle—the manufacturing and commerce explosion that brought unprecedented economic growth and earned Japan international clout might have been a less pure victory than it seemed. In Bending Adversity Pilling questions what was lost in the country’s blind, aborted climb to #1. With the same rigor, he revisits 1990—the year the economic bubble burst, and the beginning of Japan’s “lost decades”—to ask if the turning point might be viewed differently. While financial struggle and national debt are a reality, post-growth Japan has also successfully maintained a stable standard of living and social cohesion. And while life has become less certain, opportunities—in particular for the young and for women—have diversified. Still, Japan is in many ways a country in recovery, working to find a way forward after the events of 2011 and decades of slow growth. Bending Adversity closes with a reflection on what the 2012 reelection of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and his radical antideflation policy, might mean for Japan and its future. Informed throughout by the insights shared by Pilling’s many interview subjects, Bending Adversity rigorously engages with the social, spiritual, financial, and political life of Japan to create a more nuanced representation of the oft-misunderstood island nation and its people. The Financial Times “David Pilling quotes a visiting MP from northern England, dazzled by Tokyo’s lights and awed by its bustling prosperity: ‘If this is a recession, I want one.’ Not the least of the merits of Pilling’s hugely enjoyable and perceptive book on Japan is that he places the denunciations of two allegedly “lost decades” in the context of what the country is really like and its actual achievements.” The Telegraph (UK) “Pilling, the Asia editor of the Financial Times, is perfectly placed to be our guide, and his insights are a real rarity when very few Western journalists communicate the essence of the world’s third-largest economy in anything but the most superficial ways. Here, there is a terrific selection of interview subjects mixed with great reportage and fact selection... he does get people to say wonderful things. The novelist Haruki Murakami tells him: “When we were rich, I hated this country”... well-written... valuable.” Publishers Weekly (starred): "A probing and insightful portrait of contemporary Japan."

Book Synopsis 100 Animated Feature Films by : Andrew Osmond
Download or read book 100 Animated Feature Films written by Andrew Osmond and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, animated features were widely perceived as cartoons for children. Today, though, they encompass an astonishing range of films, styles and techniques. There is the powerful adult drama of Waltz with Bashir; the Gallic sophistication of Belleville Rendez-Vous; the eye-popping violence of Japan's Akira; and the stop-motion whimsy of Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Andrew Osmond provides an entertaining and illuminating guide to the endlessly diverse world of animated features, with entries on 100 of the most interesting and important animated films from around the world, from the 1920s to the present day. There are key studio brands such as Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks, but there are also recognised auteur directors such as America's Brad Bird (The Incredibles) and Japan's Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away). Technologies such as motion-capture, used in films such as Avatar, blur the distinctions between live-action and animation. Meanwhile, lone artists such as Nina Paley (Sita Sings the Blues) and Bill Plympton (Idiots and Angels) make entire films by themselves. Blending in-depth history and criticism, 100 Animated Feature Films balances the blockbusters with local success stories from Eastern Europe to Hong Kong. There are entries on Dreamworks' Shrek, Pixar's Toy Story, and Disney's The Jungle Book, but you will also find pieces on Germany's silhouette-based The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the oldest surviving animated feature; on the thirty year production of Richard Williams' legendary opus, The Thief and the Cobbler; and on the lost work of Argentina's Quirino Cristiani, who reputedly made the first animated feature in 1917.
