Review of Birthday Stories Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami
Oh this one was so interesting. It’s a connection of stories centering or touching on the topic of birthdays. Murakami compiled this anthology and added a short story to accompany it, along with his introduction. The stories were excellent, and each had their own merits and revealed things about their cultural contexts and experiences, which I always find fascinating. I think the thing I want to focus on, though, in this little writing exercise that I catapult into the void, is Murakami’s introduction.
First, the topic of birthdays. What a whimsical little topic to pick. What a silly thing to write about. In some of these stories, the birthday is obviously central. In others, it is merely noted- all of the events would’ve unfolded anyway- but it changes the lens through which we read the story. We can assign such high expectations to this day- our birthday, our parent’s birthday, our partner’s birthday. I, for one, love birthdays! I think it’s a wonderful excuse to celebrate yourself and the people that you love. But we put so much pressure on it. Many of these writers go dark with the birthday stories- birthday strife, birthday tragedy, birthday awkwardness. And it’s so easy to do so: we are supposed to be at such a high, it is incredibly easy to be brought down low, to feel that tension that makes a story a story. We can discuss to what extent the “perfect” birthday is even a myth. Are these sad birthday stories the closest we will get to reality?
The second thing that really struck me was Murakami’s first person writing style in the introduction and this blurbs about the authors. I thought it was so cute and comical. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It strayed far from his usual third person mystical narratives that are a sign of his almost autor nature of writing. It also was jarring then, when I read his story, that I was immediately thrust back into that world of immateriality and surrealism. His ability to shift between the conversational and simple writing to heavily artistic and philosophical writing was interesting to witness within the same 200 pages.
The last thing was just a little point of order that I found to be interesting. He published this book both in Japanese and in English, where he says he did most of the translating work himself into Japanese from the original English of many of the short stories. This surprised me when I read it because I didn’t know he did translations. Most of the work of his that i’ve read has been translated by someone else. What surprised me even more was that when it came time for his story, he wasn’t the one that did the translation from Japanese to English. That boggles my mind a little bit. If you have translator capabilities, wouldn’t you be the most capable one to translate your own work. He would be the one most able to retain the intention and mood behind every sentence. That was just odd to me.

Gone, but not Forgotten Redux
In 2013 I posted ‘Gone but not Forgotten’ in which I highlighted authors who made a strong vivid impression on me and who had recently died. Now, ten years later, it is time again to remember those who have left us recently. This is a personal list of authors who may or may not have been all that famous but who had at least one work that I found impressive. Günter Grass (1927 – 2015) The German…

ウィリアム・トレヴァー、栩木伸明訳『聖母の贈り物』(国書刊行会、2007年1刷、2017年3刷)
周囲の理解が得られず居場所がない人や思惑が噛み合わない家族を描いていて『わたしたちの怪獣』と重なるが、本書は田舎の偏狭な人間関係から逃げられない閉塞感がひしひしと。幻想味やユーモアはあまりない。
