Book excerpt: A fast-paced, darkly ironic novella from one of Japan’s contemporary luminaries—and the husband of Mieko Kawakami—making his English language debut A teenager gripped by obsession seeks to free endangered birds in this darkly funny study of solitude and toxic masculinity set in modern-day Tokyo Perfect for fans of Earthlings by Sayaka Murata and Kawakami’s Breasts and Eggs Isolated in his Tokyo apartment, 17-year-old Haruo spends all his time online, researching the plight of the endangered Japanese crested ibis, Nipponia Nippon. Living on an allowance from his parents, he drops ever further into a fantasy world in which he alone shares a special connection with the last of these noble birds, held at a conservation centre on the island of Sado. His conclusion is simple: it is his destiny to free the birds from a society that does not appreciate them, by whatever means necessary. With his emotional state becoming ever more erratic, he begins sourcing weapons and preparing for a reckoning in this darkly ironic study of toxic masculinity.

Book Synopsis Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in Health and Disease by : Jerzy K. Kulski

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic and diverse multigene locus in all jawed vertebrate species that has an integral role in adaptive/innate immune systems, transplantation, and infectious and autoimmune diseases. The MHC supra-locus in mammalian vertebrates is usually partitioned into three distinct regions, known as classes I, II, and III, which, to varying extents, can be found conserved in nonmammalian jawed vertebrates, such as bony fish, amphibians, and bird lineages. The MHC gene region is characterized particularly by the expression of class I and class II glycoproteins that bind peptides derived from intracellular or extracellular antigens to circulating T-cells. While this expressed antigenic specificity remains the predominant interest with respect to MHC function and polymorphism in a population, a broader concept has emerged that examines the MHC as a multifunctional polymorphic controller that facilitates and regulates genome diversity with a much greater array of functions and effects than just MHC-restricted antigen recognition. This volume of 19 reprints presented by various experts and collected from the Special Issue of Cells on “MHC in Health and Disease” covers a broad range of topics on the genomic diversity of the MHC regulatory system in various vertebrate species, including MHC class I, II, and III genes; innate and adaptive immunity; neurology; transplantation; haplotypes; infectious and autoimmune diseases; fecundity; conservation; allelic lineages; and evolution. Taken together, these articles demonstrate the immense complexity and diversity of the MHC structure and function within and between different vertebrate species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siamo negli anni ’90. Haruo ha diciassette anni e vive in una piccola cittadina di provincia nella regione del Tōhoku, nel nord del Giappone. È un adolescente solitario e problematico, trascorre buona parte del tempo nella sua stanza, davanti al pc. Durante la scuola media si era innamorato della compagna di banco Sakura, e per questo era stato preso di mira da alcuni coetanei. La sua passione, presto tramutata in ossessione, spinge dopo poco la ragazza al suicidio. La famiglia entra in conflitto con quella di Haruo e si ritiene soddisfatta solo quando quest’ultimo viene costretto a ritirarsi da scuola e a trasferirsi a Tokyo. Sempre più isolato, dopo alcuni infelici tentativi nel mondo del lavoro, Haruo si chiude nel suo monolocale dove elabora un piano per vendicarsi su tutti: fare irruzione nell’oasi protetta di Sadogashima, isola della prefettura di Niigata, e sterminare gli ultimi esemplari di Nipponia nippon, raro ibis crestato considerato tra i simboli del Paese. Si procura armi leggere e un equipaggiamento da combattente solitario e svolge un duro allenamento per migliorare le proprie abilità fisiche. Il costante equilibrio tra la suspense della preparazione e l’azione finale che conclude la vicenda, si accompagna con la descrizione attenta della psicologia deviata del giovane protagonista, rendendo il romanzo un’importante opportunità di riflessione sui disagi dell’età giovanile.
