Blog Post #3: Who wrote Train Man? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Densha_Otoko The cover of Train Man states that it is by Hitori Nakano.

I believe the QR codes reveals one of many sides of the relationship between print and digital; to elaborate, I believe that by using the QR codes, we... Continue Reading →
"Literature by the numbers" is a really interesting phrase to me because it is so versatile, open, and non-definitive. There are many ways in which you could interpret and define the phrase "literature by the numbers."
