The Looking Glass 10.2 (Apr. 2006)

May 15th, 2006

The April 2006 issue of The Looking Glass is a special issue on Japanese children’s literature. It contains the following articles:

• Japanese Picture Books / Jane and Bill McCullam of Cattermole Books
• “When the myth of life began our people shared life with humans, stone to earth, fire to water, trees to sky”: Multiplicity and Commonality in Hiromi Goto’s Water of Possibility / Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak
• “The Art of Emptiness”: Buddhist Nature in picture books of Miyazawa Kenji’s Donguri to Yamaneko (Wildcat and the Acorns) / Helen Kilpatrick
• Walking Along With Nature: A Psychological Interpretation of My Neighbor Totoro / Rieko Okuhara
• Analyzing Ideology in a Japanese Fairy Tale /Jane E. Kelley
• A Selected and Annotated Bibliography of Illustrated Japanese Folktales / Yukiko Tosa
• Anne of Green Gables and Japan / M. Elizabeth DeBlois

There is also an article on Philip Pullman: Elaborately Wound: Philip Pullman’s Marlowean Muse / Lisa M. Miller

This issue was the one that I hoped to submit an article to but did not have time to draft something before the submission deadline. The articles that were submitted and selected are much better than anything I could have written, though.
