The night deepened, became threaded through with a string of similar occurrences. My shadow’s edges became aware of a quiet touch; the presence of another soul.

And perhaps, or so it seemed, my companion was equally baffled. Without the familiar bulwark of language, still we sensed, as a physical force, our existence in the mind of the other. When, eventually, I felt him sigh away, his resignation, his abandonment, left me alone again.

The one stage in the process that you couldn’t quite get your head around was the singing of the national anthem, which took place at a brief, informal memorial service for the bereaved families, after their dead had been formally placed in the coffins…. Why would you sing the national anthem for people who’d been killed by soldiers?

Translator, Deborah Smith: ”To me, “faithfulness” in translation primarily concerns the effect on the reader rather than being an issue of syntax, and so I tried to aim for a nonspecific colloquialism that would carry the warmth Han intended. Though I did smuggle in the tiniest bit of Yorkshire — call it translator’s license.”
