My third pick for #witmonth Diary of a Void by Emi Yagi (tr. David Boyd/Lucy North) Ms Shibata is the only woman in her office and it fell upon her to clean up after her male coworkers. Fed up, she decides to pretend to be pregnant so she can be left in peace… or can she?

'the pleasures of a novel that treats fissures in our understanding not as failures, but as sites for contemplation and experiment.' Thank you emma cohen for such a thoughtful The TLS review of Xi Xi's MOURNING A BREAST (NYRB Classics), translated by Jennifer Feeley!

Natsuko Imamura crafted bizarre stories so delicately in this collection of 3 stories where various characters are alienated or distanced from society. These surreal, odd stories are about these women's voices, their desperation to be needed, to be seen

‘Delicate’ and ‘bizarre’. Grateful for these comments on this collection of stories by Natsuko Imamura which came out in my translation with Faber in June this year. #WITMonth

There’s nothing we love more than a book about books and this has it all! Both funny and heartwarming, Nanako Hanada’s THE BOOKSHOP WOMAN (tr: Cat Anderson) is a delightful memoir about a bookseller's journey of self-discovery and an ode to the joy of reading. #WITMonth
