  • Wish the world is always in English. Standard American English, that is.

  • I found this lecture after reading his story about the phone call from Lee Yangji in my Japanese textbook (日本語中級J501). It is the most interesting piece I have read in my limited Japanese.

    As a gaijin living in Japan of Jewish origin, who lives in Japan, who speaks also some Chinese and Japanese (though not even remotely close to Levy-san's), I can relate to this lecture in so many ways.

    I've even been to Kaifeng, and met an old Jewish woman, and saw first hand how they were completely Sinicized.

  • After having read your Japanese book which is translated into English as "A room where the the Star-Spangled Banner can not be heard" which I bought at Kinokuniya in Shinjuku, I was very touched by the pain and passion the protagonist :Ben Issacs" (I am sorry if I wrote a wrong spelling of his name in English) went through in his youth to try hard to be a Japanese. Thank you very much for giving me an oppotunity for reading such a marvelous Japanese novel.
