| Themes |
My research focuses on authors who cross linguistic and national boundaries, with a particular emphasis on James Joyce and Haruki Murakami. We now live in an era in which it is possible to read and write across all languages. Within this context, I aim to explore new directions in the study of world literature in English and Japanese. Authors I am currently examining include Natsume Sōseki, Kazuo Ishiguro, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. |
