He translates French writers not Japanese. Long before Pushkin published this I read a translated version by Ross & Shika Mackenzie. I just checked the Pushkin publication info and noticed their names on the title page of the new edition. It's basically a reissue of that 2004 <br />English translated edition originally from IBC Publishing.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-38314975875962018922018-11-25T03:36:46.976+00:002018-11-25T03:36:46.976+00:00I read this a few years ago.

The central gimmick is brilliant and completely surprised me. <br />I like the cheekiness too. There is a formal challenge to the reader. Then, a bit later on, there is a SECOND “okay I gave you more and you still can’t solve it” challenge! Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207803092348071005noreply@blogger.com
