The Blog Years

2005-2009

29 December, 2009

Je vais prendre ma retraite.

I'm "retiring" from this blog and my class blogs (at least for now -- maybe it will make sense to start up again someday), but will still make occasional posts for the PM Press Blog.

The good folks at PM recently published my translation of Tomoyuki Hoshino’s amazing novel Lonely Hearts Killer, which you can get by clicking here. PM also re-released Terry Bisson’s Fire on the Mountain (with a new introduction by Mumia Abu Jamal). I recommend reading those two novels together with Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead and Huey P. Newton’s Revolutionary Suicide. If you decide to read those works together and feel so inclined, leave a note in the comments section below. I will feel very happy if this post inspires some discussion about those books.

Meanwhile, Tomoyuki Hoshino’s web-based activity is expanding. If you read Japanese, you can now follow him on Twitter in addition to reading his online journal and website.

In case you came here to access my old class blog archives or other blogs/sites, here are some quick and easy links to each for your reference:

  • The "Japanarchy" Class

  • Introduction to East Asian Cultures: Japan (formerly Asian Humanities: Japan)

  • Postwar Japanese Family Fictions

  • Insurgency & the Globalization of Discontent

  • Untold Horrors

  • Short Fiction

  • こんな小説も読んでみよう (not public)

  • Advanced Translation (not public)

  • Long Fiction

  • The University of Iowa Youth Empowerment Academy (YEA!)

  • New Nationalisms: A Symposium with Tomoyuki Hoshino, Chizuko Naito, and Su Tong

  • You can also still access the archives of the brief, but wonderful radio program students in a very special class I taught at the University of Iowa produced a few years ago, "The Insurgency Hour," a student-run radio program on KRUI 89.7 FM. Check out the program index and explore the recorded programs.

    Thanks for stopping by!
