paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, cover price $16.95, attractive copy, probably unused, near fine. KARASHIMA, DAVID. Who we're reading when we're reading Murakami. New York, NY: Soft Skull Press, 2020, stated First Soft Skull edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, xi, 288pp., . "How did a loner destined for a niche domestic audience become one of the most famous writers alive? A rare look inside the making of the "Murakami Industry"-and a thought-provoking exploration of the role of translators and editors in the creation of global literary culture. Thirty years ago, when Haruki Murakami's works were first being translated, they were part of a series of pocket-sized English-learning guides released only in Japan. Today his books are in fifty languages and have won prizes and sold millions of copies globally. How did a loner destined for a niche domestic audience become one of the most famous writers alive? This book tells one key part of the story. Its cast includes an expat trained in art history who never intended to become a translator; a Chinese-American ex-academic who never planned to work as an editor; and other publishing professionals in New York, London, and Tokyo who together introduced an understated, pop-inflected, unexpected Japanese voice to the wider literary world. David Karashima synthesizes research, correspondence, and interviews with dozens of individuals-including Murakami himself-to examine how countless behind-the-scenes choices over the course of many years worked to build an internationally celebrated author's persona and oeuvre. He looks beyond the "Murakami Industry" toward larger questions: How active a role should translators and editors play in framing their writers' texts? What does it mean to translate and edit "for a market"? How does Japanese culture get packaged and exported for the West?". ISBN 9781593765897 11.00. …

Language: English. Weight: 6 ounces. First published in France in 2003. Translated by Christine Schwartz Hartley. Trade Paperback. Mabanckou is a big star on the French literary scene, winner of the prestigious Prix Renaudaut, and unlike many of his navel-gazing French novelist counterparts, great at spinning an entertaining yarn. His writing is deceptively simple, though; look just below the surface, and you'll see numerous references to the history of French and American literature, in jokes that make you feel like you're in cahoots with the author. In any event, African Psycho is a very funny novel about and narrated by a small-time African crook who dreams of making it big like his hero, Angoualima, "the most famous of our country's assassins," a notorious serial killer with an enviable ability to make the front page of the papers. Our narrator dreams of making a splash but so far has only petty crimes to his name, so he sets out to kill a certain Germaine, refusing even to consider the "humiliating" possibility that his infamous act will go unnoticed by police and media.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Like New. Copyright © 2004. 114 pp. Clean, fresh copy with very minor shelf wear on front and back cover, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: This is a mesmerising and tightly wound creation myth playing on the fear and wonder of prediction. When a freak accident involving an infallible gambler, a truck full of chickens and a gas pump leaves an easygoing young man named Iple deaf, he decides to travel to Antarctica. Tagging along with a team of contrary, often childish scientists, he is the sole member of the expedition to keep his head as the days stretch and the nights become non-existent. While wandering the tundra, Iple finds the frozen body of a runaway scientist whose ghost asks him to detour towards an enormous sheet of translucent ice. Below the sheet, with her four legs in the air, is Isabella, a dinosaur and the last DNA repository of a wealth of human and pre-human knowledge. What follows is a mesmerizing detour into our species' fear and wonder at the nature of prediction. Paul Fattaruso's vision is a statistician's wet dream and a mystic's worst nightmare.or is it the other way around? Fattaruso, trained as a poet, spins a lyrical and highly visual modern day fable, a creation myth for the generation whose gods look more like dinosaurs than any monster before or since.
