The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Mizumura Minae's The Fall of Language in the Age of English, just (about) out from Columbia University Press.
Her A True Novel impressed greatly, and while I'd of course prefer to see her other fiction translated (especially 私小説 from left to right !), it's great to see this work of non-fiction also available in English -- and one hopes English-speaking readers beyond just those with an interest in Japan(ese) will have a look.
