And regarding Silver's book, it's really interesting. It discusses Kuroiwa's 'translations', which were a great influence on Rampo and then goes via Okamoto's Hanshichi Torimonochou stories (available in translation!) to Rampo's work and works well in conjunction with for example Kawana's Murder Most Modern. I's one of those books I deemed important enough to take all the way to Japan.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-42380327938974682832009-10-21T09:37:42.097-07:002009-10-21T09:37:42.097-07:00@Ho-Ling: I was just reading about Professor Mark...@Ho-Ling: I was just reading about Professor Mark Silver's research... have you read this book from University of Hawaii Press?

@Ho-Li...@vioxxfact: Thanks! Rampo is the king!!!<br /><br />@Ho-Ling: I'm an idiot and should have posted about your recent translation of One Person, Two Identifies. In fact, I will update the post right now. I have told you before (I hope) but I absolutely love your blog :)<br /><br />Good luck with your work and research! I totally suck now (mental acuity is gone!), but back in college I did a translation project of Rampo's Death of a Sleepwalker. I was never quite satisfied with my work, but yeah... the kanji was a muthafucker! I am super impressed that you're doing lots of work on Rampo and his works.<br /><br />I just remembered, there was a academic conference earlier this month in Philadelphia about Edgar Allan Poe, and one of the panel/sessions was about Poe & Rampo. Here were the presentations:<br />Session 5G: Poe and Rampo (Riverview C)<br />Chair: Takayuki Tatsumi, Keio University<br />1. Seth Jacobowitz, San Francisco State University, “From Grotesque and the Arabesque to Erotic Grotesque: Literary Patterns in Poe and Rampo”<br />2. Mark Silver, Middlebury College, “Poe's Landscape Reconfigured: Cultural Borrowing and Technological Fantasy in Edogawa Rampo's ‘Strange Tale of Panorama Island’”<br />3. William O. Gardner, Swarthmore College, “Brush, Lens, and Screen: Visionary Media in Edgar Allan Poe and Edogawa Rampo”<br /><br />Awesome, huh?<br /><br />Thanks for the youtube clip link!Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1738934633806459262009-10-20T14:40:39.554-07:002009-10-20T14:40:39.554-07:00I've also lately been busy with Edogawa's ...I've also lately been busy with Edogawa's works, as I'll need to hand in a book report in a couple of months as a set-up for a research paper. And I enjoy every bit of it.<br /><br />Except for the kanji. <br /><br />The Shounen Tantei Dan stories are quite enjoyable (and easy to read!), very much like the detective-adventure stories of Arsene Lupin. The importance of the STD stories are probably best seen in detective manga, with characters as Edogawa (!) Conan and Kindaichi Hajime being the offspring of Kobayashi Shounen.<br /><br />And the STD/BD7 opening should be mentioned (Though the Animetal cover is even more awesome). BD7 wa Shounen Tantei Da~n!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36X75cOYb4UHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-34617596030398226772009-10-20T12:40:58.706-07:002009-10-20T12:40:58.706-07:00Thanx a lot for this post!!!!!
