Book excerpt: This tale chronicles Maadhu's struggle to emerge from the shadows of a precarious self-image built around the subtle oedipal struggles of not being able to match his father's illustrious status. His own inability to overcome the subconscious paradoxes ingrained into his psyche due to the systemic neglect and emotional indifference from his father. The exclusive presence of adoration and constant respect for his father acts as a lynchpin for his insecure complexes. He tries to find adoration by being antisocial, but the deep-rooted values and system instilled by his mother comes back to haunt him which destroys his ego, and he reclaims and becomes a professor. His poor volitional talents psychologically devastated his daughter to only lose herself in a labyrinth of green wrist and blue floating ladders. Will his constellation of conflicting emotions affect the existence of his own daughter??

Book excerpt: My Own Winter Sun BY TESS NEIS The fame and fortune that went with success had a price. For Erik Robson, quintessential English heartthrob, it was boredom.

He was tired of the attention that was always attached to anything he said or did. All he wanted was to restore some semblance of normality and order in his life. As fate would have it, he met Tamiko who turned out to be just the breath of fresh air that Erik so needed in his convoluted world. But to many people, Tamiko was either an unwelcomed distraction or a fierce competition. Either way, she was not good for Erik's career. Could the people around Erik be right? For wasn't Tamiko herself running away from her own demons?

Check. The bastard child of Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 and Stephen King’s CARRIE, KAI explores how one innocent girl becomes the target of enormous rage living inside another girl-who is seemingly from another world. Satsuki Takamoto is an invisible otaku teenager in Hiroshima. The only thing she has going for her is the upcoming birth of her sister. No longer will she be alone. But when her mother has a gory miscarriage right in front of her, Satsuki loses her one chance at happiness. She spirals into a deep depression, shutting out everyone and everything by locking herself inside her bedroom-for good. Her sadness, however, pales in comparison to her uncontrollable anger. It spreads like a nuclear fire, ambivalent to what or who it destroys, and won’t stop until Satsuki accepts her sister’s death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world in Evanston, Illinois, Seul Bi Rissiello can’t sleep because every time she closes her eyes, she relives her adoptive parents’ gruesome deaths. Why is she thinking so much about them now, ten years afterward? As she struggles with working at a clinic for the mentally disturbed, Seul Bi starts to unravel under the weight of living a lonely life and being twice an orphan. Her life devolves into a series of ominous and dangerous hallucinations that threaten not only her sanity, but her very existence as well. As both girls struggle to understand what is happening to them, their enigmatic connection comes into focus, raising the question: What if all the suffering in your life was carefully choreographed by somebody you’ve never met? REVIEWS FOR KAI: "Two young women- a Japanese schoolgirl in Hiroshima and a Korean orphan in the US- seemingly living parallel lives are drawn together in a Japanese horror story of interconnections and dark imaginings. Through the fevered imaginations of its protagonists Vasconi takes us on an ever-changing journey across oceans and continents and through a maze of sexual tensions, horrific miscarriages, and malevolent thoughts, against the ever-present backdrop of the Atomic Bomb and its searing disfigurements. Yet through the clouds of nuclear dystopia come rays of transformative light in a compelling finale that grips the imagination and leaves one looking back at the interconnections at the heart of this gripping tale." -Ian Reader, Author of Religious Violence in Contemporary Japan: The Case of Aum Shinrikyo "KAI combines horror, drama, mystery, and philosophy in an engaging, gory and violent character study of two young girls." -IndieReader. "The style immediately reminded me of 1Q84...Like Murakami, Derek manages to create a very blurry line between what is real and what isn’t. The detailed descriptions and graphic imagery really helps create the world both Satsuki and Seul Bi live in, and the difficulties they go through. If you’re squeamish though, be warned, as some scenes in the book can be quite difficult to stomach." -Nihon in London "This book is quite an eloquent, yet biting read: the slow, creeping, eventually brutal feel of the piece is truly terrifying at times. It’s got a lot of nuance and subtle pacing that makes Asian-inspired horror fiction great, all the while drawing from American Gothic to make a really eclectic, varied feel – and all the more disturbing for it. To be blunt, it’s weird as hell, in the best of ways." Self-Publishing Review "Derek weaves a compelling tale in ‘Kai’. The story shifts focus smoothly between Satsuki and Seul Bi, from the understated opening chapters, right through to the grand reveal of just what it is that connects these two girls. Most importantly the characters you are introduced to are believable, making the occasional visceral moments all the more potent." -Ross Lovell, Emily Loves Japan Official Blog

Book excerpt: In 2013, while visiting her sister in the United States, Laurel Kamada collapsed. Far from her husband, son, career, and home in Japan, she spent the next few weeks in a coma from a stroke that left a hole the size of a baseball in the center of her brain. In this multicultural memoir, Kamada writes about her years of recovery with a profound sense of grace, still seeing the beauty in her life while not shying away from its many struggles.

Kamada also introduces networking means and advice to help stroke survivors, their families and friends, and professionals working in long-term care facilities, such as nursing and rehabilitation staff.

Book Synopsis The Inheritance and Innateness of Grammars by : Myrna Gopnik
Download or read book The Inheritance and Innateness of Grammars written by Myrna Gopnik and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is language somehow innate in the structure of the human brain, or is it completely learned? This debate is still at the heart of linguistics, especially as it intersects with psychology and cognitive science. In collecting papers which discuss the evidence and arguments regarding this difficult question, The Inheritance and Innateness of Grammars considers cases ranging from infants who are just beginning to learn the properties of a native language to language-impaired adults who will never learn one. These studies show that, while precursors of language exist in other creatures, the abilities necessary for constructing full-fledged grammars are part of the biological endowment of human beings. The essays that comprise this volume test the range and specificity of that endowment, while also contributing to our understanding of the intricate and complex relationship between language and biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuck. That's how 33-year-old aspiring singer Celeste Duncan feels, with her deadbeat boyfriend and static career. But then Celeste receives a puzzling phone call and a box full of mysterious family heirlooms which just might be the first real clue to the identity of the father she never knew. Impulsively, Celeste flies to Japan to search for a long-lost relative who could be able to explain. She stumbles head first into a weird, wonderful world where nothing is quite as it seems—a land with an inexplicable fascination with foreigners, karaoke boxes, and unbearably perky TV stars. With little knowledge of Japanese, Celeste finds a friend in her English-speaking homestay brother, Takuya, and comes to depend on him for all variety of translation, travel and investigatory needs. As they cross the country following a trail after Celeste's family, she discovers she's developing "more-than-sisterly" feelings for him. But with a nosy homestay mom scheming to reunite Takuya with his old girlfriend, and her search growing dimmer, Celeste begins to wonder whether she's made a terrible mistake by coming to Japan. Can Celeste find her true self in this strange land, and discover that love can transcend culture?
