Any list of the greatest movies ever made worldwide would feature far more movies from Japan than any other country. That is a provocative, unfounded statement totally dependent on personal taste. But it’s also a true fact, scientifically. Not really. Still, for a country that small, Japan has a disproportionate number of filmmakers considered masters. But how about science fiction books? There’s plenty of manga and anime and yes, science fiction films, but where does the archipelago nation sit when it comes to science fiction novels? Here’s more from the Science Fiction Writers of America:
Hyakuoku no hiru to senoku no yoru (Ten Billion Days and One Hundred Billion Nights) by Ryu Mitsuse (1967)
An epic, cosmic adventure in the manner of Arthur C. Clarke, covering the evolution of humanity, the lives of Plato, Christ, and the Buddha, a future technodystopia, and the very heat death of the universe itself. For pure “sensawunda,” it gets no better. Haikasoru will be releasing this book in its first English translation in November 2011. Longtime US SF readers may remember Ryu Mitsuse’s “The Sunset, 2217 A.D.,” which appeared in Frederik Pohl’s Best Science Fiction for 1972.
