This week, special guest reader Demetria Spinrad (whose own blog is available here, and makes for excellent reading) is on to read a script I’ve prepared about Akutagawa Ryunosuke, one of the foremost writers of modern Japan.
Though Demetria read the script, I still wrote it; any errors are still my own.
Listen to the episode here.

Very good reading Demetria!
