A Millennium of Japanese Literature

14/11/2024 - 14/11/2024

6pm - 7:30pm

5S.4.19

Japanese authors had been producing written works for more than a thousand years! You might be familiar with Haruki Murakami or Sayaka Murata, but if you've ever wanted a deeper dive into the world of Japanese literature, this is the talk for you.

Our guest speaker Storme will cover a range of literature, from Japanese classical works right up to contemporary authors, discussing various genres and recurring motifs. There is something in Japanese literature for everyone!

Although not impartial in her preferences and opinions (as it often is when it comes to books!), Storme promises to make a valiant effort to explain why certain books are important or beloved even when they don't appeal to her personally.
