Little Stories...
and some new articles
[James Joyce: death mask]Over the years I've written many small stories for use as practice college entrance exam English problems in Japan. A few of them can be accessed elsewhere at this site. Many of them are memories of significant people or lessons from my youth, some are little adventures...
More recently I wrote a monthly column for Japan Currents magazine, with a Japanese and English-speaking readership - "What's in a Word" - with some light linguistic musings on both English and Japanese topics.
