Keiichiro Hirano is one of Japan's most celebrated contemporary novelists. In this conversation, we discuss his journey from Japan to New York, his philosophy of "dividualism" (分人主義), the role of literature in modern society, and how living abroad has influenced his writing and perspective.


His deeply psychological fiction explores profound and universal themes such as self-love, relationships, and acceptance, and spans short stories, historical novels, essays, love stories, and literary sci-fi.
