A new (in English) Hiromi Kawakami book, one of my favourite authors. ❤️
The Third Love (三度目の恋), translated by Ted Goossen, is out today, and I had to go straight to our local bookshop and order it in! 😊 -
Now that the short story has been published in a new translation by Ted Goossen, as "Mole" in 川上弘美 Hiromi Kawakami's new collection Dragon Palace, I thought I should finally finish the Japanese version (called 鼴鼠) that I've been reading (or more accurately, been trying to read) for the last 6 months - it's no more than about 25 pages long 😂.
There's a great sentence and a great new (to me) word I just read:
東京の空いっぱいを覆いつくす、猛々しい夕焼け。(A raging sunset that occupies the entire sky over Tokyo.)猛々しい (たけだけしい) means raging or furious, and I love how it repeats the 猛 kanji, which by itself already means fierce, furious or wild, so 猛々しい is like rage or fury doubled 😁

Ha, I just came across the footnote no. 7 in the short story 鼴鼠 (Mogera Wogura) by 川上弘美 (Hiromi Kawakami). I suffer from multiple levels of ignorance here - for a start I only knew that 朝顔 literally means morning face, rather than morning glory (the flower). And to go from that to urinal (because of the funnel shape of the flower)... 🤯

Starting my first 川上弘美 Hiromi Kawakami short story in Japanese, 鼴鼠 (called Mogera Wogura in English, although that's not a direct translation).
It's about 20 pages long, so I'll tell you what I think of it when I finish it in about a year 😁

Starting 2023 with more Japanese books to read. Right now with Hiromi Kawakami's "The Sky is Blue, the Earth is White" (Spanish translation).
Wah, I feel related with sensei. 💔 what would Tsukiko have in her mind?
