“Karashima not only unpacks the tricky business of translating for an English-speaking audience, but how publishers market an author as a brand and elevate them to literary acclaim. All the while, we’re introduced to a wily bunch of backers that nurtured the voice and persona of the reclusive Murakami. Fascinating, cerebral and engaging, Karashima’s penned a book Murakami fanatics and completionists alike will want to grab ahold of.”
