I recently received an inquiry from a reporter in Sweden who is looking for someone to interview by telephone about popular young Japanese female writers. She says. . .

I’ve read several articles about young japanese female writers conquering the Japanese readers. Risa Wataya, Hitomi Kanehara, for example.

Now, I’d like to do a short piece on this I’m looking for somebody who I can interview - on the telephone - about these new young writers and what they write about, and - who is English-speaking. (Since I don’t speak Japanese, unfortunately.)

Anyone out there knowledgeable enough to take this on?
