The first Chinese translation of Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki is to appear in Taiwan on October 1, 2013.
The translator is Lai Ming-zhu(頼明珠) who has rendered into Chinese practically everything Haruki Murakami has ever written, including his essays (c.f. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/頼明珠). We are happy to see that her name is printed on the cover.
The book can be pre-ordered until today at a discount price. Here are some links: https://www.facebook.com/hurukimurakami

It seems that the book went on sale a few days earlier in Hong Kong (and has already sold a million copies!), which has some Taiwanese readers irate.
