#49
JAPAN,
ASIA, MURAKAMI RYU, AND JET DIVERSITY
KJ#49
presents fresh views of present-day Asia, with perceptive dispatches
from resurgent mainland China, previously unpublished fiction
from vanguard writer Murakami Ryu's latest novel/Japanese TV
series (plus an exclusive interview with the author), and memorable
personal encounters in Vietnam, Thailand, Korea,
Mongolia and Japan.
A
special photo-essay by Everett Brown reveals the amazing
diversity of overseas participants in the JET program — Japan's
mammoth intercultural educational project.
Central
Asia analyst Gerald Larson probes the history and present prospects
of the region’s religious politics; Tarun Tejpal discloses
how his online journal Tehelka’s sting rocked India’s government
and military. Impassioned Japanese activists speak out on child
abuse, education reform, and social responsibility.
And more: love haiku, opium reinterpreted in Thailand's
Golden Triangle, Japan's new media celebrity writers, a Mexican
poet in Japan circa 1901, and a Japanese expat community in
Vladivostok before and after Japan fought Russia - and won. And
more...
