## Description

Long-awaited by teachers and students, Read Real Japanese Fiction presents short works by six of today’s most daring and provocative Japanese writers. The spellbinding world of Hiromi Kawakami; the hair-raising horror of Otsuichi; the haunting, poignant prose of Banana Yoshimoto; even the poetic word-play of Yoko Tawada – whatever a reader’s taste, he or she is sure to find something of interest and value in this book, suitable for students at the intermediate level and above.As in real Japanese novels, the text on each page runs from top to bottom and from right to left. Each double-page spread features translations of all the difficult passages. In the back of the book, moreover, is a built-in Japanese-English learner’s dictionary and a notes section covering issues of nuance, usage, grammar and culture that come up in each story. Best of all, the books comes with a free audio CD containing narrations of the stories, performed by a professional voice actress.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take Your Japanese to the Next Level
*by A***Y on 15 June 2015*

For anyone whose Japanese is stuck at the intermediate level, this is your chance to change that. You get writing by modern (and celebrated) writers with useful phrases explained on the side, a glossary of terms, and a CD to hear it pronounced. It is a great idea and should improve your reading and your comprehension.
