AWARD-WINNING, INTERNATIONAL LITERARY SERIES RETURNS TO OSAKA ON MAY 24, 2009
Featuring four distinguished authors reading in English under the theme “Dazed & Confused: Stories of Uncertainty"
OSAKA, JAPAN, April 21, 2009—The internationally acclaimed and award-winning literary series Four Stories, which runs free events in Boston (USA), Osaka, and Tokyo, kicks off its next event in Umeda, Osaka, on May 24, 2009, with readings in English from the following distinguished authors:
• George Bishop, Jr., author whose first novel To My Daughter on Her Fifteenth Birthday will be published in early 2010 by Random House, and teacher at Toyo University in Tokyo with a University of Montana program
• Sally McLaren, Kyoto-based writer, editor, and media researcher
• Paul Morrison, widely published author, visiting scholar in American Studies at Doshisha University in Kyoto, and chair of the English & American Literature Department at Brandeis University
• Jane Singer, contributor to the Asahi International Herald Tribune, Kansai Time Out, and other English-language publications
Plus the Four Stories style of literary investigation: ask the best question; win a free drink!
The Four Stories experience: like a 19th-Century salon, only 150 years later - same socializing, same witty banter, corsets optional.
