7-7-11 Motomachi, Goshono.
IWA is very happy to announce that our
speaker for the evening will be Professor Mark Williams, Vice President of AIU
Akita. Professor Williams is well known
for his studies and translation work for the famous author Shusaku ENDO. ‘Endo Sensei’
is known for his literary works and for the famous novel ‘SILENCE’ (Chinmoku) -
(1966). Endo Sensei won the Tanizaka
Prize in 1966. Professor Williams
translated ‘The Girl I Left Behind’ (1994)
another famous work by Endo Sensei. Professor
Williams has in depth knowledge of the author and I do urge members and friends
of IWA not to miss this very unique opportunity to look deeper into this once
very famous colourful character, of his time, in Japan.
As we print this announcement, Martin
Scorsese together with Daniel Day-Lewis,
Liam Neeson and Ken Watanabe are adapting the novel SILENCE and entering into film production in Hollywood in June
2014.
We shall enjoy a pot-luck supper after the
talk and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion after the
talk.
Partners and husbands are most welcome.
Please R.S.V.P. as soon as possible to Mrs
Ichikawa.
