“Outlet” by Randy Taguchi – interview on Antena 3 Channel, VDTV Show

“OULET”, the first novel of Randy Taguchi, also known as the Internet Queen in Japan, has finally been published in Romania, too, and it can be soon read by the Romanian public. This book will surely be attractive both to those who are already familiar to the apparently superficial, but complex writing style of Japanese modern and contemporary writers, such as Ryu Murakami, Banana Yoshimoto or Haruki Murakami and to the readers who are interested in a new provocation provided by an adventure like book reading.

After taking part at the public release of Randy’s novel in Turabo Café Victoria when I had the chance to exchange a few words with Ms Randy Taguchi and receive autographs for me and my friends, an extremely intriguing experience has started that, I must admit, only a few books managed to produce on me, an experience that culminated with another opportunity, that of really discovering Randy Taguchi, in the usual life.

As I went back home, I could not stop reading “Outlet”- in its original Japanese edition “KONSENTO”, a title that, in my opinion should have been kept in Romanian as well- and there was more. Even if I put it aside for a few minutes, my mind could not stop thinking about this novel, where reality and fiction compete and combine in an endless game of wandering and certainty.

But I will not continue to tell more about this story as I want you to try to read and discover it in your own manner. But by the end of this week we will publish also a short synopsis about it and by then I will let you meet the writer as she had an interview on Antena 3, in VDTV show and discover her interesting personality!
