It's easier to get rough of this big book.

: I personally did not find "Twinkle Twinkle," although a short and pleasant
: read, to be the "impeccable comedy of manners" promised in the company's
: press release. The story traces the first year of the unconventional marriage
: of Shoki, an emotionally unstable translator of Italian, and Mutsuki, a gay
: doctor, through the jealousies that arise between Shoki and Mutsuki's gay
: lover Kon, pressures from both sets of parents to have a baby, adjustments to
: living with another person, and the happy ending that comes about for all three
: of them.
: I thought Ekuni did a good job portraying Shoki's emotional fragility and the
: mutual misunderstandings she and Mutsuki had during their period of adjustment
: However, only Shoki felt like a real person, and the book read like a trendy
: TV drama; in particular there never seemed to be anything pulling Shoki and
: Mutsuki together, so the whole idea of the marriage was never fully convincing.
: However, "Twinkle Twinkle" did drive home to me how difficult translation can
: be in a cultural as well as technical sense. Shoko's fragility and alcoholism,
: for example, may well be endearing and quirky to Japanese readers, but how will
: American readers react?
