Red Circle Authors
Red Circle Authors is a British publishing house based in London that specialises in Japanese fiction.
Red Circle Authors was set up in 2016, by Richard Nathan and Koji Chikatani, to showcase Japan's best creative writing. The Gutai group was the initial inspiration behind Red Circle Authors.
Members of the Red Circle Authors group include: Kazufumi Shiraishi, Randy Taguchi, Fuminori Nakamura, Kanji Hanawa, Mitsuyo Kakuta, Takuji Ichikawa, Soji Shimada and Roger Pulvers.
Currently, only a limited number of literary works by Red Circle's curated circle of authors are available outside Japan in translation. Despite this, many of Red Circle's authors have won literary awards in Japan including, for example, the Naoki Prize (Mitsuyo Kakuta 2005, Kazufumi Shiraishi in 2010) and the Akutagawa Prize (Fuminori Nakamura in 2005); and have had their works adapted for film and television in Japan.
Some of the group's authors already have well-established reputations in Asia (in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Thailand, for example) and are starting to win international literary prizes. Fuminori Nakamura, for instance, won the David L. Goodis Award in 2014.
Red Circle Authors' publishing imprints are Red Circle and Circle Editions.
Red Circle Authors launched this imprint and publishing programme on 23 November 2018 with the launch of its first series Red Circle Minis and the publication of its first three Minis:
Stand-In Companion by Kazufumi Shiraishi, Backlight by Kanji Hanawa and Tokyo Performance by Roger Pulvers
