The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Murakami Ryu's From the Fatherland, with Love, just out (in the UK) from an increasingly ambitious Pushkin Press that isn't just publishing great old favorites (Couperus, Szerb, Zweig, etc.) but is now taking on some big modern stuff, too (Andrés Neuman's Traveller of the Century and the like).
This Murakami, a dystopian thriller that has the North Koreans planning a take-over of part of Japan, is certainly an intriguing work -- it should get some good attention.
(Interestingly, like another recent Pushkin Press publication, Eduardo Halfon's The Polish Boxer, this is also a multiple-translator effort -- three, in all (Ralph McCarthy, Charles De Wolf, and Ginny Tapley Takemori), compared to the five that tackled the Halfon.)
