illustration from the cover of In the Miso Soup 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.
More information about In the Miso Soup can been obtained from this link to Amazon. Reference to the translation of the Basho poem is given here.
