I have written one hopelessly unreadable academic tome and published a translation of a Japanese novel which, sadly, does not contain any bike scenes.
Anybody else out there?
[Perhaps the record should also show that while I was working on both of these projects I was also the proud owner of a white bike. So perhaps the question should be, has anybody been able to produce a book without one?]
If I may ask, what is the title of the Japanese novel and did you like it? I have a fascination with Asian writers. Watanabe's "A Lost Paradise" really got me. Are you familiar with many Asian authors? I think my favorite writer is Kaszuo Ishiguro, but of course, he is more British than Japanese, but I feel there is an influence. Any suggestions, or was the translation a one time deal? ( I would imagine any one able to translate from Japanese might be on an inside track
