The Woman Dies - Aoko Matsuda Translator: Silvester MazzarellaThe normalisation of violence against women on screen and in the media is confronted in the story The Woman Dies, while others invest inanimate objects with their own perspectives, examine the aesthetics of technology, and use clever wordplay to riff off the absurdity of contemporary life. Masterfully translated by Polly Barton, the translator of Asako Yuzukis Butter, The Woman Dies is more than a simple thrill ride. Original Language: Japanese
