OUT vs Out[edit]

I just changed OUT to Out because I believe that is generally regarded as the correct capitalization of the title. --Anthony5429 21:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional references?[edit]

Regarding the "additional references needed" tag, I question its applicability. The basic facts of Kirino's life are recounted on her own website (to which a link is provided in the article); her bibliography is, well, her bibliography; the prizes awarded to her novels, again, are described on her web site... What am I missing? --SGilsdorf 05:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the tag as per your comment. Thanks for making note of that. --Anthony5429 21:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New translation[edit]

Anyone know which of Kirino's books is being published next year in the UK under the English title What Remains? Doesn't seem to be a direct translation of the Japanese (cf. Miyabe's Kasha {Cart of Fire), which Kodansha decided to call All She Was Worth--the French version, Une carte pour l'enfer, manages to be poetic while still imparting the sense of the original, which is excerpted from a Buddhist poem...)

It's Zangyakuki. SGilsdorf 00:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, which could be translated as "A chronicle of cruelty" or (more loosely but also more evocatively in English) "Diary of a Brutal Life" SGilsdorf 04:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so sure about this, I think it is Tokyo-jima. Received this email today from Random House in response to my enquiry about What Remains 184655005X/978-1846550058:

Dear Mr Guest
I am sorry but these ISBN has been cancelled and the book will now be published straight into B format paperback (see details below).
ISBN 9780099499237
NYP 03-02-2011 Not Yet Published      
Title TOKYO-JIMA                      
P    7.99        
Div 21 Vintage  
Regards Sue Bloomfield Sales Office Manager

As you can see this is the ISBN previously reported to be assigned to What Remains. Unless Random House themselves are mistakenly conflating two books (one cancelled and one subsequent), which seems unlikely. Robin Guest (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Class Project[edit]

An Asian literature class from Ursuline College worked in the fall of 2013 to improve this page. We hope that we have improved it. (Fwursuline (talk) 12:36, 8 October 2013 (UTC))[reply]
