"the J-Literature movement"

I learn (after REF-stripping):

Writing exclusively in Japanese, Zoppetti is thus an exophonic writer, considered part of the J-Literature movement.

If this means something other than

Zoppetti only writes in a second language, Japanese.

then what does it mean? -- Hoary (talk) 13:09, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a brief explanation, with two references. Ozaru (talk) 07:09, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now (after REF-stripping), it's:

Writing exclusively in Japanese, Zoppetti is thus an exophonic writer, considered part of the J-Literature movement (J-Literature refers to Japanese literature of the 1990s, particularly novels on street life in urban Japan.)

That's more or less explained "J-literature" (which I hadn't heard of, but is a thing); however, the rest still seems odd. How about:

Zoppetti's works are all in Japanese (a second language for him), and are considered "J-literature", a genre of Japanese-language novels that emerged in the 1990s, primarily about street life in urban Japan.
