I'll be talking online about how I ended up becoming a "literary translator" and hopefully people will find it amusing, at least, if not helpful. April 18th! Free for JAT members, ¥500 for students, ¥2,000 for others. #Xl8 #Translation #JapaneseLit

Jim talks about his latest translation, The Ark. It's a dark mystery with an ending that lingers long after you close the book. Out now in the UK! #Books #Mystery #TheArk #JapaneseLit

I read my book for the #TranslatedLitChallenge on time for a change, but unfortunately I was a bit underwhelmed by my choice this time. I read Harlequin Butterfly by Toh EnJoe (tr. David Boyd). I wouldn't say it was particularly bad, but I felt like it was too short for me to really experience the story and think about what it was talking about.
I wrote a longer review on my Bookwyrm account, so check that out if you're interested. I don't think there's really a way to link directly to my review from my phone, so I've only got a link to my profile. Should be easy enough to find it from there though.
