  Yôko Ogawa
Yôko Ogawa was born in the prefect of Okayama, Japan, in 1962.
In Europe, Yôko Ogawa was first only read in France, where, since 1995, ten of her books have appeared in translation.
Ogawa’s approach is neither voyeuristic nor does she pass moral judgment; she instead focuses on a subtle account of mutual dependency.

 AAS Abstracts: Japan Session 31   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
As with much of her work, Ogawa's style in "Diving Pool" is characterized by the punctuation of a bland, almost monotonous, first-person narrative with objectively graphic depictions of violence.
The narrative of Ogawa's heroine, as discussed above, elicits in the reader feelings of horror concerning her actions/fantasies that are never consciously expressed in her own first-person account.
It is paradoxically the "flatness" of Ogawa's language, my paper concludes, that conveys to us with disturbing directness the heroine's complex emotional state-a state that simultaneously acknowledges and rejects her violent impulses.

Ogawa got the idea for the book after watching the mathematician Fujiwara Masahiko on TV speaking of the triumphs and difficulties faced by mathematical geniuses.
Fujiwara says that the beauty of mathematics is close to that of literature, especially the haiku form, as the writer attempts to convey the essence of the world in a few short words.
Ogawa points to the beauty of the eternal truth contained in just a single line: "The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees." Mathematicians refer to the special relationship between the numbers 220 and 284 as "amicable numbers." Ogawa says that this appellation proves that they are poets.

Yoko and Hiroshi Ogawa, the parents of slain freelance journalist Kotaro Ogawa, return to a hotel in Kuwait City on Sunday night after identifying the body of their son.
But the Japanese government plans to keep the recovered body believed to be his in Iraq for the time being as it will try to identify the body through dental records and DNA tests.
Hashida, Ogawa, their driver and their interpreter were attacked Thursday by gunmen while traveling through Mahmudiyah, about 30 km south of Baghdad.

The family of Kotaro Ogawa, 33, flew to Kuwait on Sunday, and were able to recognise him.
Mr Ogawa and Mr Hashida came under attack when their car was ambushed near the town of Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad, on Thursday.
It is believed that the families hope to return to Japan on Tuesday along with the remains of their loved ones.

 CBC News - Viewpoint: Dan Hilton
In a bright suburban apartment in Nishinomia, 30 minutes east of Kobe on Osaka Bay, Yoko Ogawa is laying out a feast for her three-month-old daughter Mari.
The meal is mostly for show and will be eaten later by Ogawa and her husband, but the sentiment – to pray for a child's long life and full stomach – is very real.
Although the UN estimates Japan would need 17 million immigrants by 2050 to maintain its current population, immigration is still considered a solution of last resort as even today, there are many in Japan who believe culture and tradition are no less important than survival.

Documentarian Shinsuke Ogawa and his filmmaking collective, Ogawa Productions, originally shot much of the footage seen here as part of the epic 1987 film MAGINO VILLAGE: A TALE, a four-hour documentary about growing rice in the Yamagata prefecture.
Forced to cut the persimmons sequences in order to reduce the film's running time, Ogawa always intended to fashion the cut material into a separate film — leaving records of life in these tiny, disappearing villages had become a priority — but he died before he got any farther than a shooting script.
The film was eventually completed by the Chinese director Xiaolian Peng — with assistance from Ogawa's wife, Yoko Shiraishi — and Ogawa couldn't have hoped for a more fitting testament to what he was trying to preserve.

Advanced tests will be required to determine whether another body is Mr Ogawa's uncle, Shinsuke Hashida.
Mr Ogawa's body was found about 10km (6 miles) away from the site of the attack.
Mr Hashida's wife, Yukiko, and his son, Daisuke, flew into Kuwait City along with Mr Ogawa's mother, Yoko, her husband, Hiroshi and their other son, Shuji.

Ogawa worked as an apprentice, after pleading her case to a chef in her hometown of Utsunomiya, Japan.
In Manhattan, the menu includes her sushi roll — the Yoko roll, an inside-out roll with broiled eel, yam and an oba leaf.

 Confessions of a Pop Fan - Jamie S. Rich
This was reinforced by her story "Pregnancy Diary" in the recent 12/26/05-1/2/06 issue of the same magazine.
The thing that resonates the most with me in Ogawa's work is her ability to take a normal situation and with very simple language make it feel almost supernatural.
There are no secret fears that the baby will emerge as a monstrous beast eating its way out of the mother's belly, it's all done with hypnotic inference.

Suffused with the opiate fumes of the Brothers Quay and early Peter Greenaway, this languorous adaptation of Yoko Ogawa’s Japanese cult novel is a ravishing addition to the canon of sex and decay.
She is sure to be a major star in the very near future.
Yet she focuses on the source work’s intrinsically gendered gaze, repositioning the film squarely within the post-feminist paradigm occupied by literary theorist Julia Kristeva and Catherine Breillat.

 the Literary Saloon at the complete review - 11 - 20 December 2005 Archive
No big risks -- hey, it's The New Yorker --, indeed no (to us) unfamiliar names and few we'd never read: Ogawa Yoko, with no English translations of any of her books available yet, is about as unknown as any of the authors get.
With offerings by or about two Nobel laureates (a Knut Hamsun profile, a Szymborska poem), the recent Man Booker International Prize winner (a story by Ismail Kadare), and a (previously unavailable in English) story by Vladimir Nabokov it is very, very big names that dominate.
In the case of the Bolano it really is a preview -- the story is from the forthcoming story-collection.

My last "#1 in drama" held its position firmly for about 10 years (Het oog van de engel by Nelleke Noordervliet - in Dutch, that is), despite the fact that quite a few books have passed (most notably the books by Yoko Ogawa, unfortunately only translated in French).
Douglas Adams' books, Catch 22 and Stephen Fry's The Liar were supreme, but in an entirely different category.
