A sample from the website Words Without Borders, which I plug for personal reasons, yes, but it really is a good site with damn good material। I like the above story very much. Here’s another I enjoyed:

This one is a piece form something longer, which I need to fine and finish। The inevitable Murakami comparison came to me, though I am sure both writers would deny any similarities. And Koreans and Japanese would surely flay me for suggesting as much.

It’s an interview with one of the Crack writers of Mexico, a guy responsible for a book that has taunted me from the shelves of the obnoxiously hip Myopic Bookstore। I will buy the book very soon, I am sure, especially after having read this little interview. I mean, you can’t fault a guy who dismisses House of the Spirits and claims Faulkner as the best American writer.

So this may give you an idea of how I’m spending my summer.
