MONKEY New Writing from Japan showcases the best of contemporary Japanese literature. MONKEY publishes short fiction and poetry by writers such as Hideo Furukawa, Hiromi Ito, Mieko Kawakami, Sachiko Kishimoto, Hiromi Kawakami, Aoko Matsuda, and Yōko Ogawa; interviews and essays by writers such as Haruki Murakami; new translations of the work of earlier writers such as Okamoto Kanoko, Sōseki Natsume, and Naoya Shiga; and graphic stories by Satoshi Kitamura and collaborations between Japanese authors and North American graphic artists, such as “The Visitor,” with a graphic narrative by Jon Klassen and text by Yōko Ogawa.
First formed under the name Monkey Business: New Writing from Japan, in collaboration with A Public Space, Monkey Business published 7 volumes from 2011 to 2017.
Rebranded in 2020 as MONKEY New Writing from Japan, MONKEY is the English-language offspring of the Tokyo-based Japanese literary journal MONKEY, founded by Motoyuki Shibata, one of Japan’s most acclaimed translators of American fiction.
Vol. 1 of the brand new MONKEY will be 152 pages of full color and printed at a larger trim size, allowing you to enjoy MONKEY like never before. The first issue features Food: A Monkey's Dozen, and includes translations into English of work from various issues of the Japanese MONKEY, as well as other works both old and new by writers, artists, and translators from Japan, England, Canada, and the U.S.
