See that bit of text under the blog title
New Murakami collection due in UK in July. Reminds me, must get that Pinball 1973 review up soon.

Pinball 1973! I'll look forward to that review. Have you got a translated version?
Do you happen to know whether Hear the Wind Sing is available in English?
I reviewed Hear The Wind Sing in Feb, here. http://culturalsnow.blogspot.com/2006/02/rat-tale.html
It's available in an English translation, but is only published (by Kodansha) in Japan. I got my copy on ebay. I think Murakami is unhappy with it, although I don't know if it's the novel or the translation that's the problem.
Pinball 1973 is, I believe, also available in translation in Japan, but I've never seen a hard copy. There's an online version here: http://www.geocities.jp/yoshio_osakabe/Haruki/Books/Pinball_1973.html
Sorry, that should be:

Excellent. Thanks for that. I remember finding a link to an online Pinball 1973 some while ago. Then finding it was broken and being all frustrated and wistful that it might once have been out there somewhere.
Nice review, by the way. I think you may well be right about the handjob.
I have never erred on the subject of handjobs.
