"An astonishment, by turns playful and profound, that makes you wish it were a monthly." -- Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

"Monkey Business is full of deep, funny, wild, scary, fabulous, moving, surprising, brilliant work. There is no literary magazine, no magazine period, that I get more excited about reading." -- Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome

"I feel my brain being reconfigured every time I read Monkey Business. The Japanese sense of story is very different from the American or Western sense of story, and it always opens up possibilities for me." -- Matthew Sharpe, author of Jamestown

Monkey Business is the in-translation offspring of the Tokyo-based magazine Monkey Business, which was founded in 2008 by Motoyuki Shibata, one of Japan's most highly regarded men of letters.

Monkey Business aims to translate and present a wide array of established and emerging authors, showcasing the best of contemporary Japanese literature.

Issue 4 opens with a new contributor, Craft Ebbing Co., a designer duo who tells the story of a mysterious box alongside color pictures of their exquisite craftsmanship. Richard Powers brainfully unpacks the most-talked-about living Japanese author, Haruki Murakami, and Kodansha Prize-winning translator Roger Pulvers unveils "The Restaurant of Many Orders," one of the most popular stories by beloved Japanese giant, Kenji Miyazaki. Sci Fi wiz Toh Enjoe joins Monkey stalwarts Gen'ichiro Takashi, Hiromi Kawakami, Hideo Furukawa and Sachiko Kishimoto -- plus debuts of new writers you must meet in our hungry pages.
