We are pleased to announce that in response to popular demand, all back numbers of Japanese Book News (JBN) formerly published by the Japan Foundation are now available online, from the inaugural Winter issue of 1993 to the final edition of Summer 2016. Widely read by publishers, translators, researchers, and librarians around the world, this quarterly English-language newsletter addresses the world of Japanese publishing from a variety of angles, introducing novels and essays in addition to nonfiction works related to culture and history along with author interviews and commentary by literary critics. We invite you to browse the archive and to take full advantage of its many recommendations of books on and about Japan, valuable interviews with authors, and introductions to Japanese literary works whose relevancy continues today.
