Harlequin's Butterfly

Among other great offerings, (which also include translations of Chuya Nakahara by Christian Nagle),  the January 2013 issue of Asymtote features a tantalizing translated extract of Toh EnJoe's Akutagawa Prize winning novel Harlequin's Butterfly, translated by Sim Yee Chiang and Sayuri Okamoto. The extract is also accompanied by an interview between Toh and the translators.

    This is great news, when I reached the end of reading the excerpt I just wanted to continue reading to see where it was heading.

    It sounds like a fascinating novel full of juxtapositions of provoking concepts and approaches.

    Very much looking forward to reading it!.
