I also wondered about some of the stilted language. It didn't bother me, but I do wonder if it's a result of the translation, Murakami's own particular style, or a reflection of the Japanese language and some of the formalities that (I've heard) accompany it. In any case, it's an interesting thing to wonder about.Miss Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433318219707424076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-87279074560543209162013-01-30T01:45:02.675+11:002013-01-30T01:45:02.675+11:00I didn't know that about the letter q in Japan...I didn't know that about the letter q in Japanese--very cool. I agree with you about the language sometimes being awkward, but sometimes it is lyrical, so I think it evens out.Mary R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12468537883595941188noreply@blogger.com
