Frederik L. Schodt Boeken
Frederik L. Schodt is een Amerikaanse vertaler, tolk en schrijver wiens levenspad diep verweven is met Japan. Zijn uitgebreide kennis van de Japanse cultuur en taal, opgedaan tijdens zijn jeugd en latere studie en werk in Tokio, heeft hem tot een sleutelfiguur gemaakt in de popularisering van Japanse stripverhalen, oftewel manga, in het Westen. Door zijn vertalingen zijn werken van vooraanstaande Japanse makers zoals Osamu Tezuka toegankelijk geworden voor een breder publiek. Schodts eigen schrijven biedt een inzichtelijke verkenning van de wereld van manga, de geschiedenis ervan en de culturele betekenis, waarmee hij lezers een fascinerend artistiek domein opent.
