Opening 2023 with the Japanese Literature Challenge 16

Where has ’22 gone to so fast? Regular media are looking back on past events and deaths; social media are being flooded with New Year’s resolutions for 2023. And me? I’m just looking forward to another Japanese Literature Challenge hosted by Dolce Bellezza. That’s what I like about this time of year!

The challenge runs from January through February. Will you join us?

Here’s what I have planned…

• Read De Zwemmers (The Swimmers) by Julie Otsuka.
• Read Tokyo Vice by Jake Adelstein (providing I can get my hands on an affordable copy).
• Make a dish from the Vegan Japan Easy cookbook.
• Continue to listen to Jake Adlestein’s interesting investigative podcast The Evaporated: Gone with the Gods about the “fascinating and bizarre world of Japan’s jouhatsu” (missing persons).

Planned for the 16th Japanese Literature Challenge

By the way: this is the first post on this blog that I made in the WordPress Gutenberg editor! #learning
