Jay Rubin at Elliott Bay Book Co. Tonight at 7:30PM!

Just a reminder from the Event Calendar that Jay Rubin, translator and writer, will be speaking at 7:30 Elliott Bay Book Co. tonight. Jay is perhaps most well known for his translation of Haruki Murakami’s works but he’s recently translated 17 stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa (including Rashomon) and has also published his own book, Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words.

I’ll be there with a friend. If anyone else wants to meet up for a pint afterwards, let me know!
