ZOOM Meeting: 22.6.2024
On an invitation from the English-Speaking Union of
Japan (ESUJ),
I participated in the Zoom Meeting on 22 June 2024 as a panelist to discuss the collection, “Night Jasmine” by Goran
Gatalica. The deliberation was very insightful. Mr. Goran Gatalica, Prof. Arran Stibbe, Dr. Julia Jorge, Mr. Yuzo Ono, Ms. Miho
Kinnas, Ms. Geethanjali Rajan, and Ms. Emiko Miyashita graced
the occasion.
