This is just in from the Kurodahan Press:
We are honored to announce that agreement was reached today with renowned Serbian author Zoran Zivkovic to publish his uniquely fascinating stories in Japanese.

Kurodahan Press will be publishing this first collection of short stories in Japanese this fall as “The Teashop and other Impossible Stories” (provisional title), which will include three of his finest works:

Another beautiful PS Publishing edition of my books is just out — the triptych The Writer/The Book/The Reader.
There are going to be as many as four PS Publishing books of mine in 2009. The Bridge and The Writer/The Book/The Reader, which have already appeared, and Impossible Stories II and Escher’s Loops, which are scheduled for September and December respectively.
The Slovenian edition of Amarcord is just out. It is the fifth book of mine published by “Blodnjak”, after The Fourth Circle, The Bridge, Miss Tamara, the Reader and The Library.
