Biography
My PhD explored the interaction of politics, urbanisation and subjectivity in the fiction of the Japanese novelist Abe Kôbô (1924-1993). While I am continuing to work on this project I have also begun to devote a significant part of my time to literary translation and, to a lesser extent, translation theory. I have taken a bit of a detour into Okinawan fiction but am now working on expanding my dissertation to encompass the relationship between politics and literature Japanese literary left in the immediate postwar era.
