What to Read and Think About After the Disaster
Originally born from a series of book reviews exchanged by Sakamoto and others via social media, this book asks: what should we be reading now in a Japanese society that has suffered a profound spiritual blow? It introduces books recommended by Sakamoto, and this event will feature live readings of excerpts from those books on USTREAM.
Scheduled to appear are DJ Sasha, Hiroshi Takano, Miya Sakamoto, Junichi Konuma, Kokoro Fujinami, and others. The broadcast will be available on Tokyo News Service's USTREAM channel (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tns-ch1).
