[KineJapan] Book launch Companion to Japanese Cinema - SOAS, 24th Jan 4-6.30pm UK Time

Tue Jan 17 16:46:16 EST 2023

Dear Earl,

No need to apologies, indeed this book would deserve a much bigger event! For this little one, given the slot we have and the time difference, particularly with Japan/East Asia, it was mostly reduced to contributors who are or were related to SOAS Japan Research Centre and are around London area for practical reasons.

All the best,

Marcos

My second apology - I am so sorry for the tone, frankly I wrote that message during a peak time in an on-going back pain situation.

Dear Professor,
 My apologies if I sounded annoyed in the previous message, that was not my intention.
I understand that this was for contributors in the UK.
It will be very interesting and I definitely hope many will attend. I have read those papers and they are all fascinating and provocative in the best sense of the word.
