A look back on translating Strange Houses, with a bit of a spoiler discussion of one big issue.

Translating Strange Houses
Jim goes on a somewhat spoilery journey looking back on an issue encountered in translating Strange Houses by Uketsu, which ended up making a major difference on the book.

Llegint una antologia de contes de terror de Kadokawa m’he trobat amb aquesta petita joia que Inoue Masahiko (1960) va escriure el 1983 per al premi de micro-ficció Hoshi Shin’ichi, organitzat per Kōdansha.

No m’he pogut estar de traduir-la per compartir-la amb vosaltres.

Dear friends,
As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here:

At EAJS in Sendai this weekend, and thanks to Prof. Till Weingärtner (Cork), I found out about シルバー川柳, a yearly prize given by the 全国有料老人ホーム協会 for senryū about the everyday lives of senior citizens.

My favorite so far (mostly because of the 本歌取り from 金子みすゞ):

Gran (com sempre) tertúlia sobre la fantasia a Esperant el Cometa.

I molt a favor de reivindicar sempre William Morris!
Esperant el cometa 32! 🔥

En aquest episodi d'agost hem convidat el @ricardruizgarzon.bsky.social per tenir una llarga tertúlia sobre la tradició i l'evolució de la fantasia (i els seus subgèneres) al llarg de la literatura.

World Central Kitchen got fired on in Gaza by Israel, had members killed, and went back anyway because people shouldn't have to starve to death. This is an amazing humble bundle.
