▼A book that you read as a lecture in story form about 'how to write novels' while facing AI. A "small record of experiments" that summarizes how an author who had lost the ability to write reevaluated their creative practice through dialogues with ChatGPT. You can read it as a narrative lecture — dialogues (a course) between a professor and the protagonist — presenting a way of thinking to treat AI not as a "tool" but as "another editor." Using approaches discussed in overseas creative-education contexts as a clue, it quietly explores a path to reclaiming language. ※This book is structured as a "fictional lecture" in story form between a professor and the protagonist. ▼Recommended for: - Writers who are stuck while writing fiction - Those unsure how to use AI in creative work - Those who are tired of literary circles or criticism - Those who carry "nights when they can't write" ▼Contents Chapter 1: Can AI become an 'editor'? Chapter 2: AI picks up the 'silence of words' — illuminating the reasons for being unable to write Chapter 3: Writing that 'dialogues with AI' — questions deepen the story Chapter 4: AI edits 'structure' — building the skeleton of a story Chapter 5: Does AI steal 'your voice'? — issues of style and narration Chapter 6: AI 'supplements scenes' — techniques to shape the texture of the world Chapter 7: AI 'polishes dialogue' — techniques for drama and the art of silence Chapter 8: AI 'shakes the theme' — grasping the core of the story Chapter 9: Can AI 'complete the story'? — techniques for endings

This is the English edition of 'A Library Beyond Books'.

In front of Lbio, right next to the Kita Library in Kita Ward, Nagoya, there will be a pop-up sale of zines, used books, and miscellaneous goods. I was invited and decided to join at the last minute — so grateful!! My new zine, "Grandparents' House", is a story about a stigmatized property set in my real grandfather's house. I'm happy that the true ghost story "Unknown" seems to be popular at Lbio... I'll bring that one too! I'll also bring some of my back issues. I'll be bringing lots of handmade items — book pouches and other pieces that should be great for spring and summer — so if you're nearby, please stop by!

ZINE "Me and the War" and a supplement set A5 size 32 pages Through this wordless picture book, I prepared myself to put an end to war. I created it hoping for a world where children are not killed by war, and with the wish that this world might move even one or two steps in a better direction.
