A Wild Haruki Chase: Reading Murakami Around the World
August 25, 2008 |
On BoingBoing today I saw a blurb about this incredible book:
It’s a collection of essays along with Murakami covers from all over the globe. It’s definitely worth a look, but I know this one’s going on my wishlist. I have a book-cover fetish anyway, so A Wild Haruki Chase: Reading Murakami Around the World immediately caught my eye. His essays cover topics like globalization and translation. The book itself was compiled by Jay Rubin, Richard Powers, Kim Choon Mie, Inuhiko Yomota, Roland Kelts, Shozo Fujii, Shinya Machida, Ivan Sergeevich Logatchov, Koichi Oi, Issey Ogata
With a special essay on translation by Haruki Murakami (Japan Foundation). It looks like an interesting window into the world around an incredibly talented writer.
