What an interesting book! A great peak at all my favorite translators of Murakami's fiction. These translators are so much better than the Chinese translator that Murakami used for the Chinese translations. I swear I've given up on all the Chinese translations once and for all...
Sadly, I don't think Murakami's new fiction is not as good as his old works. His short stories are still worth checking out but his novels have lost their quirkiness! Nevertheless, I am looking forward to his new short stories anthology "First Person Singular" coming out in April. But David Karashima's book on his translators was such a good read that I didn't skip any of the sections!
