Joseph Mallozzi hosts a book of the month club over at his very popular blog. This month The Love We Share Without Knowing is the selection. Joe posted a great response to the book and then opened the comments section up for questions from his fellow readers. Today my responses went up. We talked about all sorts of things: genre writing versus literary, Japan, my life there, the making of my book. If you’re interested you should teleport over to Joe’s original post on the book, and then move onto the Q&A post.
Thanks again, Joe. It was fun!

おお！
すごく長(なが）くて、
全部（ぜんぶ）読（よ）んだら、
頭（あたま）が疲（つか）れて、
もう今日（きょう）の力（ちから）は残（のこ）っていないかとも思（おも）ったけど、
逆（ぎゃく）に、
今日もがんばろうって、
新（あら）たな気力（きりょく）をもらった。
クリス、ありがとう！
そして、
Thank you, Joseph Mallozzi-san.
The short story is a star.
The novel is a constellation.
I like both of you.
Thanks, Fusako! Glad you enjoyed it and were refreshed by the discussion despite the length of the interview and all that translation work! 🙂
