A Japanese author of Korean descent Yu Miri is the winner of Japan's most prestigious literary prize the Akutagawa and several of her novels have been bestsellers. Writing openly about the discrimination received by her ethnic Korean community has also meant criticism and even death threats from ultra-conservative Japanese. After the 2011 earthquake and tsunami she relocated to Fukushima where she currently hosts a radio show interviewing survivors. Born in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky Morgan Giles is a literary translator based in Tokyo. She graduated from Indiana University with a BA in Japanese Language and Linguistics in 2009 before moving to London. Her translation of the Naocola Yamazaki short story Dad I Love You appeared in The Book of Tokyo (Comma Press).
