          This updated version of my reading list has omitted some of the sources I previously had. I needed to narrow down my journals and some of my theoretical works, and I stuck with the most relevant ones that include information of Japanese literature and East Asian studies. Although most of my research is centered on Japan, I would also like to branch out to other countries in East Asia such as Vietnam. One of my primary sources, the Gangster We Are All Looking For is written by a Vietnamese female author through the eyes of a young Vietnamese girl who has recently immigrated to the United States. This book centers on her growing up as a young Vietnamese girl and what this means for her in her life as she grows into maturity. My other primary texts are all by the same author whom originally inspired me to pursue this topic, Yoko Ogawa. She is a Japanese writer who has an ability to capture the female protagonist and their desire for romance and the grotesque and uncanny qualities that go along with it. By using multiple books by the same author I hope to find many parallel themes that can help to develop my thesis of the female body and the perception of it through a grotesque lens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
