Event

Since going to a small city in western Japan for the first time at age fifteen, Jeffrey Angles has spent his life back and forth between Japan and the United States, reading Japanese literature, translating, and eventually writing his own literature in both languages.  In this talk, he will discuss the ways his own experiences on both sides of the Pacific shaped his own thoughts and writing, which won the Yomiuri Prize for Literature, one of Japan’s most prestigious literary prizes in 2017.
