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.

"It is not every author who can draw fans to to the bookstores around the globe for midnight releases" is how the NPR story on Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki starts. The review talks about"gorgeous contemplative prose" and occasional "boring descriptions."
Here is the link where you can listen to or read Meg Wolitzer's review (a little over 3 minutes):
