Praise for Bury This"Bury This is a 'can&#8217;t-put-down' type of novel for a wide range of audiences. It&#8217;s a tale of an unsolved murder, riddled with unexpected twists and revelations. I highly recommend it, especially as a beach read this summer." &#151; Sensible Reason&#147;The violent murder of a young innocent underpins Andrea Portes&#8217;s second novel [and she] tells this tale of violence in spiraling prose. Her empathy shies away from nothing in the tangled lives of this small Michigan town, with a young girl tied up tight in the center&#133;Bury This doesn&#8217;t breathe life into Krause to titillate us but to allow us to participate in the mystery &#151; of her death, yes, but also of her life and of small-town America. Portes takes a tale of personal tragedy and marries it to one of national weight. Throughout, her writing about this dirty, awful thing is so fresh it falls on readers bright and clean as north-country snow.&#8221; &#151;&#151;New York Times Book Review&#147;If one could hear novelist Andrea Portes at work typing, I think the keystrokes might sound something like machine-gun fire: rapid, furious bursts of word bullets, aimed directly at the reader&#8217;s heart and wasting no extra ammunition in getting there... Portes captures the fetid, dark essence of Bury This: some people&#8217;s seemingly unquenchable, monstrous thirst to destroy beauty. Amazingly though, in writing about it, Portes also creates something wondrous, like the glow of a single jellyfish, floating gloriously amid an endlessly dark ocean.&#8221; &#151;Dallas Morning News&#147;Andrea Portes is a natural, and she creates a fever dream with Bury This.  Portes writes with such cool grace we almost forget to be astonished by her narrative's complexity. Bury This is exhilarating, a raw, gripping, wintry Gothic, a less patrician--and perhaps more shattering--version of Donna Tartt's The Secret History. Read it and be transfixed.&#8221; &#151;Matthew Specktor, American Dream Machine&#147;Witty, gothic, sparse, and poetic at its heart, Bury This is a page turner from the first sentence and a journey into the dark mysteries of the human condition.&#8221; &#151;Frank Bill, Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook&#147;Andrea Portes writes with the tip of a knife, shape-shifting between characters and laying bare their darkest secrets. Bury This is electrifying and elegiac, sensual and suspenseful.&#8221; &#151;Dylan Landis, Normal People Don&#8217;t Live Like This'Bury This is a stunning, unflinching portrait of a girl discarded but not forgotten, a town shattered by suspicion, and the corrosive power of anger, secrets, and shame. Andrea Portes fearlessly explores what lies beneath our fragile surfaces, what we try to bury in order to survive. This is a raw, poetic murder mystery less about who or how than the more haunting and compelling why.&#8221; &#151;Tara Ison, Rockaway&#147;Portes&#8217;s short chapters and staccato narration make for a quick and compulsive read&#133;as a study in human nature, it&#8217;s a triumph.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly"Based on a true story, this book delivers suspense but means to be a social study, told in precise, lyrical language." &mdash;Library Journal

"Casey Schwartz&rsquo;s new book, out in April, is helping me reevaluate my relationship with screens at a moment when I&rsquo;ve never been more dependent on them ... Closing the laptop, putting the phone in the other room, and curling up with this book has been the best part of my day."&mdash;Vanity Fair"Attention: A Love Story&#160;had me rapt. Casey Schwartz is a formidable reporter, a rigorous researcher and a true artist of prose. She makes complicated information easily understood and elevates seemingly simple observations to a richer plain of meaning. More than that, though (and this is the toughest job in the business) she is an honest broker when it comes to telling her own story. Unflinching yet never confessional, this book took me to uncomfortable places but always in the most capable hands. It&rsquo;s the finest of its kind I&rsquo;ve read in ages."&mdash;Meghan Daum, author of The Problem With Everything: My Journey Through The New Culture Wars&ldquo;An extraordinary and moving treatment of that most ineffable of topics: our own attention and how we spend it.&#160; Schwartz has successfully mixed her own experiences with Tom Wolfe-like journalism to create an utterly engaging read."&mdash;Tim Wu, author of The Attention Merchants "Schwartz&rsquo;s book brims with ideas ... Schwartz is unusually self-aware, though she may not always think so. She is honest about her own vulnerabilities and self-doubt ... By personalizing her account, and her journey, she makes it a vivid, memorable thing, not simply instructive."&mdash;Post and Courier&#160;"An antidote to the countless manuals devoted to attention-hacking and technology detox, the tired denouncements of our iPhone dependence ... It is consistently interesting and beautifully written."&mdash;New Statesman &#160;&ldquo;An insightful hybrid of memoir and academic study ... Thought-provoking ... This is a rich inquiry into what it means to pay (and maintain) attention in a world increasingly permeated with distraction and interference.&rdquo;&mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly &ldquo;A personal and professional study of the struggle with attention in an age of distraction ...&#160; Unfailingly honest ... By personalizing her account, and her journey, [Schwartz] enhances the book's potency without diluting its authority ... Being attentive is an acquired skill. Schwartz helps us think deeply and clearly about what it offers us.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review) &#160;&ldquo;Essential ...&#160;Attention: A Love Story asks two simple questions: &lsquo;Why are we so susceptible to all the escape routes our technologies offer us in the first place?&rsquo; and &lsquo;What are we fleeing?'&rdquo;&mdash;Bitch Media&ldquo;With fascinating research and illuminating interviews, this is ruminative, provocative, and discussion worthy.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist

All That Is Buried

Paperback Paris, 1 of 29 Works of Translated Literature That’ll Whisk You Away

"A slim but fascinating new treatise by David Karashima on the business of bringing the best-selling novelist to a global audience." —Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, The Atlantic 

"Intriguing . . . What’s fun about this book is it doesn’t often speak directly about Murakami but writes around him with the people in the Murakami orbit. As we’re learning what his work means to them, we’re getting a clearer picture of who he is. It’s like painting a portrait solely with the negative space." —Joseph Edwin Haeger, The Big Smoke

"Impressively detailed . . . Who We're Reading When We're Reading Murakami should be of great interest to fans of Murakami's work as well as all those involved in any way in the publishing of translations, be they editors or translators (or authors whose works get translated into other languages) . . . a solid and impressively researched study, throwing an interesting light on publishing, translation, and the publishing of translations." —M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review

"In his new book Who We’re Reading When We’re Reading Murakami, David Karashima, himself a writer and translator, lays bare the invisible structures that support the international career of someone like Murakami: the multiple translators, editors, and publicists that take his work and create it into the product that Western readers then consume . . . [Karashima] seems to linger too long on the back-and-forth, nitty-gritty background work of translating and editing Murakami’s books, but herein lies its brilliance: Karashima forces Western readers to reckon with long unquestioned myths about how translation works." —Julia Shiotta, Ploughshares

"David Karashima examines the emergence of Haruki Murakami as a global literary phenomenon, bringing together an incredible amount of information surrounding this towering figure of contemporary Japanese literature—including a conversation with the man himself—and putting his eye for detail to excellent use as he seeks to uncover everything that went into the establishment of the 'Murakami industry' in the 1980s and 1990s . . . meticulous." —David Boyd, Asymptote

"Karashima’s own experience as an author and translator is hugely helpful here. He clearly understands how the publishing game works, and is able to make it accessible, at times even compelling . . . You might assume that Karashima’s approach would demystify the process, but instead he injects it with a real sense of excitement." —Aoife Cantrill, Asian Review of Books

"A profound riff on the art of translation in considering the work of Haruki Murakami, and how it differs in English from its original publications in Japanese. Tracking the work of the major Murakami translators who have rendered his work into English, this book shows the way it is shaped, edited, and reformed by who is working on it . . . A must read for translators and fans of Murakami alike." —Literary Hub, One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year

"For fans of Murakami’s work, this is a dream come true . . . [an] invaluable behind-the-scenes project." —Jed Munson, Full Stop
 
"David Karashima explores the fascinating landscape of global publishing in Who We’re Reading When We’re Reading Murakami . . . clever . . . infused with subtle humor . . . Relying heavily on first-hand accounts, Karashima explores Murakami’s early literary canon with finesse and fascination . . . Karashima explores the success of Murakami with wit and charm, making the non-fiction debut a fast-paced adventure . . . Who We’re Reading When We’re Reading Murakami lays bare the intricacies of translation. A love letter to Murakami and writing, Karashima offers an unparalleled glimpse into the global publishing market with determination, wit and understanding: a must-read for anyone interested in publishing, language, and especially, Haruki Murakami." —Melissa Ratcliffe, Paperback Paris

"Fantastic . . . If you ever wanted to get a far better, and deeper, look at (and appreciation for) the translator and their work, this is the book for you . . . Fans of Murakami will remember why they love his books the way they do, and budding translators will be reminded of the importance of their work. This is one of the most original books about translation out there right now." —Will Heath, Books and Bao 

"Murakami fans will particularly revel in Karashima’s comprehensive coverage, but anyone curious about the alchemy and sheer amount of work that goes into making a single author’s success will be entranced by this fascinating work." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“When a work of fiction touches someone, it becomes contagious, swimming into new worlds through the lives and spirits of its readers; when a work of fiction is translated, it is reborn. There is something intensely human in this miraculous process, though that something is often lost in the larger currents that surround it. This book shows us, in all their warmth and sincerity, and through their own earnest words, the people who make translations possible.” —Sayaka Murata, author of Convenience Store Woman

Who We're Reading When We're Reading Murakami

Engaging and richly drawn [with] plenty of warmth and humour throughout. This is a well plotted, engaging and lovely read I'll be hugely recommending!
