Great stories connect us across borders. 🌍📚 Japanese fiction is having a huge moment. One example: The Kamogawa Food Detectives, translated by Jesse Kirkwood, who also translated Kamachi & Pictures of Her in the Kanata collection. ✨ ⭐ Beautiful Kanata chapbooks: www.strangers.press/kanata

Udon: Unknown Dog of Nobody, available as a gorgeous chapbook from @strangerspress.bsky.social, follows three sisters and their adopted dog into adulthood. Haneko Takayama writes speculative ecofiction about animals, and it's fantastic to see her work in translation! japaneselit.net/2025/10/03/u...

I picked up this book on a whim in Hive Books in Norwich. It's a beautiful chapbook containing a single, exquisitely wrought SF short-story in translation. Lucid, polyvalent and ambiguous. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/a0b1... #sf #sciencefiction #sabrinahuang #linking @strangerspress.bsky.social
