Journal launch

Thank you for coming to the Great Lakes Review Toronto launch. The journal is now available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Our SHOE PROJECT at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto is now in Calgary! It's our first travelling exhibition. The shoes are displayed in the lobby at Bow Valley College, and the shoe stories will be discussed at the conference today. The stories are also live on the web.

It's official: I am the Japanese translator of Katherine Govier's marvellous novel THE GHOST BRUSH/THE PRINTMAKER'S DAUGHTER (Canada/US). It's going to be exciting! Japan needs more CanLit!

So excited to know that my short story "The Man Who Sells Clouds" will be included in the May issue of The Montreal Review!

Congrats, Leslie!

My friend Leslie Shimotakahara's new book THE READING LIST has been released! The launch was held on Tuesday 14 February at the Japan Foundation. It was a hit! My review of THE READING LIST is now on Goodreads. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/285358127
