Alex Dudok De Wit on Translating Shuna's Journey

This week, friend of the show Alex Dudok de Wit joins Michael and Jake to talk about his new translation of Hayao Miyazaki's graphic novel, Shuna's Journey. Originally released in Japan in 1983, Shuna's Journey has never been translated into English, and so provides a new perspective on Miyazaki's work and worldview in the years before the success of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and the subsequent founding of Studio Ghibli.Join us on Patreon for ad-free and bonus episodes, Discord access and show footnotes and more: Patreon.com/ghibliothequeEmail us: ghibliotheque@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter @ghibliotheque and Instagram @ghibliotheque.pod.@MichaelJLeader – Michael@jakehcunningham – Jake@_stephwatts - Steph Hosted on Acast.
