I will talk to you on modern Japanese literature through the works of two
popular authors. One is MIYAZAWA Kenji and another is MURAKAMI Haruki.
MIYAZAWA composed a lot of juvenile tales and poems. MURAKAMI is the most
popular Japanese novelist now in the world. What is the human communication?
The course is an introduction to Japanese literature from such a point
of view.

If you can, you should read these two author's books in any English translation.
