AUTHOR
Naoyuki Ii
 
After graduating from Keio University, Naoyuki Ii (1953-) made his debut in 1983 with Kusa no kanmuri (The Grass Crown), which won the Gunzo Prize for New Writers. His early works were frequently fantastic, but lately he has begun to write polyphonic stories in a sinuous style rich with humor that paint a clear picture of modern Japan.
