are there any books or writings by her (in JP or CN) that you particularly love? The fact is that a lot of her novels are on the dark side for me, so I haven't actually read that many! But 星月夜 is a short one that I read in Japanese and really liked, a love affair between a Taiwanese woman teaching Japanese-as-a-foreign-language in Japan and one of her students, an Uyghur girl from Xinjiang. There is obviously a lot going on there, but among other things the way she shows the process of Japanese language learning (by a Chinese speaker) absolutely fascinates me, can you read the furigana in this photo? The other one I really like is a book of essays in Japanese which is somewhere in my want-to-translate pile, 透明な膜を隔てながら. let me know if you pick anything up by her at some point...
