Translating Haruki Murakami

This blog is meant as an open forum where translators of Haruki Murakami can share ideas and discuss solutions to problems encountered in the process of translating his works. It was launched by two translators of Murakami into Norwegian and Polish, Ika Kaminka and Anna Zielinska-Elliott. Some of us have collaborated in the past, and many of us are in touch regularly by e-mail, but the publication of the new novel in 2013 served as a catalyst for the creation of an online translation blog.

The Catalan Translation to Come Out on October 1

A cover of the Catalan translation of Tsukuru Tazaki appeared on the webpage of Curtis Brown, Murakami's London agent.

We did a brief internet search and found out that the book is to be published on October 1st and can already be preordered. Once again, the translator's name is not mentioned. The Catalan title, like the Spanish one talks about the "boy without color" and "his years of pilgrimage," but does include the name "Tsukuru Tazaki."
