I recently published an article on Godzilla and related kaijyu eiga
(mysterious creature films) in *The World & I* (May 1998), pp. 182-193. It
does not cover the most recent, American, Godzilla which I haven't seen
because he still hasn't stomped his way to Hiroshima. My article, however,
does offer a great deal of new information and ideas about these films, 
which
will be very useful information to anyone studying the subject.

At the risk of hyping myself too much, I also have an article coming out 
in
the June issue of *Literature and Medicine* on what I call Atomic Bomb 
Cinema.
The June issue is devoted to film and the medical humanities. My article 
looks
at relevant American and Japanese films.

Most sincerely,
