NIGHTLAND - Japanese Journal of Fantasy Literature

Received my complimentary copies of this fabulous journal about fantasy and fantasy authors. I was interviewed by one of their writers in Tokyo, during my speaking tour of Japan in May of this year. That "O.R. etc" on the lefthand side is me. I cannot read the article yet as I've only begun to study kana or Japanese script including hiragana, katakana (for foreign words and names) and kanji. But I can tell you that it includes first-time translation into Japanese of the early chapters of my most recent book PEOPLE OF THE GREAT JOURNEY, a work of magic realism for adult readers (offered free in PDF on my website). Yes there are fairies in the book but also a lot of intense and painful subject matter not appropriate for younger readers.
