I find such "snipping" of content from the original quite irritating. The English translation of Murakami's Wind-up Bird Chronicle is by Jay Rubin. To my surprise I discovered later that entire chapters in the Japanese original do not appear in Rubin's work! I'm guessing this translation is "blessed" by Murakami, which makes the situation all the more puzzling. > to make it family friendly (Eugenie Danglars = hinted at as being a lesbian) > etc. Not just hinting, it was pretty obvious in the version I read :-) ~ash
