Hey Small Press! Book List
(July, 2011) |
"Dalkey Archive Press is the most accomplished publisher of translated fiction in America. Their upcoming release of Naoyuki li's The Shadow of a Blue Cat, translated from the Japanese by Wayne P. Lammers, continues that tradition.... My favorite moments in the novel were Yuki's encounters with his teenage daughter Ryo's boyfriend. A bourgeois family drama - but much less annoying than Franzen's Freedom and set in Japan."

"Much of the Japanese fiction published in the United States tends towards the offbeat and disturbing. 'The Shadow of a Blue Cat' is a different breed entirely.... Ii's first book to be translated into English provides a refreshing glimpse of ordinary life in contemporary Japan."
