Two new books

[Aaron Gerow]

I just got back from a trip and was pleased to find two new, very  
important books in my mailbox:

Imeji toshite no sengo, eds. Tsuboi Hideto and Fujiki Hideaki
http://www.seikyusha.co.jp/books/ISBN978-4-7872-3312-7.html

Oshima Nagisa to Nihon, by Yomota Inuhiko
http://www.chikumashobo.co.jp/product/9784480873620/

The former features articles on a variety of media, but of particular  
interest are those on Tezuka Osamu, Ozu, Oshii Mamoru, and Akasen  
chitai. The latter, as the obi announces, questions whether  
translating "to" as "and" is inappropriate for considering Oshima's  
relation to Japan, and then asks whether "versus" is not a better  
option.
