|  | Congratulations to 
            Jos Vos, our teacher of Dutch, whose two translations (from Japanese 
            to Dutch) are being published by a leading literary Dutch publisher 
            this year. They are In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami, a political 
            thriller about a serial killer on the loose in Tokyo, and an annotated 
            edition of classic text The Narrow Road to the Deep North by 
            the seventeenth century poet Basho. | 
         
          | Jos' work illustrates the many talents of our teaching 
            staff outside the classroom and joins a long list of published academic 
            staff at St. Clare's. |
