Coming soon: Monkey Biz, launched and unleashed

Found in translation: the premiere issue of Monkey Business International: new writing from Japan, published in collaboration with A Public Space and featuring new material from Haruki Murakami, Yoko Ogawa, Hideo Furukawa, Mina Ishikawa, manga artists The Brother and Sister Nishioka and Barry Yourgrau, among many others, debuts this spring with a string of events & parties in NYC:
Saturday, April 30 @ The Asia Society in Manhattan
Monday, May 1 @ BookCourt in Brooklyn
Tuesday, May 3 @ The Japan Society in Manhattan
All of the above will feature authors, editors and translators from Japan, the US and Canada. Lineups, details and other specs forthcoming. (And, yes: amid the sterling stories, poems, and interviews--there will even be a dose of manga.)
I am humbled and honored to be a small part of this very big production.
