Hotaru and other novels

[Aaron Gerow]

In yet another case of a director writing the novelization of his or her 
own film, Kawase Naomi's novelization of her new film Hotaru has just 
been published:

Hotaru/火垂（ほたる）

Kawase Naomi/河瀬直美

Publisher: Gentosha/幻冬舎

ISBN: 4-344-00073-0

Price: \1,500

By the way, Aoyama Shinji told me the other day that his novelization of 
Eureka has been nominated for the Mishima Yukio Literature Award.  
Aoyama's a bit amazed and bewildered by the whole thing, but we'll see 
who wins...
