For anyone who does not know this magazine, it’s published monthly in English and contains a series of fairly detailed reviews of recently published books. There is a bit more to the magazine than that, but 90%+ is book reviews.

| I enjoyed this interesting take on a country's history. Harding has chosen 20 people from a period of about 2000 years, ordered chronologically, and writes mini-biographies of each one. But the mini-biography is a scaffolding on which he hangs a much ...more | |
"I really liked this book, self depreciating, funny and sad at the same time, quite philosophical about human condition. Great insights into the writer's awareness of the boundaries between reality and fiction, and how these two interact and interlace"

I read this to try and reduce my ignorance of the history of Japan. I did not have the enthusiasm for one of the big, more thorough, histories. This book has succeeded in so much as I may go on to read more. This is explicitly a short history, but it ...more |
