Book Riot - 20 Must-Read Japanese Books by Women in Translation

"I've long loved Japanese literature and over the years with each passing August I've picked up more and more books translated from Japanese for Women in Translation Month. Hiromi Kawakami, Yuko Tsushima, Yoko Ogawa, and so many others have become some of the authors I recommend and return to most often. Here I've collected some of my contemporary favorites, 20 must-read Japanese books by women in translation."
