I have to give props for the brazen Fahrenheit 451 reference. “It was a pleasure to burn.” -> “I had no idea books burned so well.” If you see me drop a Ray Bradbury book in the feed, now you know why.

What if I said the entire book is worth the payoff of this chapter/scene? It was so shocking and good.

I am determined to finish this book by tomorrow. Two thoughts so far:
- I am constantly wondering where the translator took liberty with sentence structure or form. Even when done well, I find it hard to “trust” translations.
- Feels like a mix of historical (Undeground Railroad, WWII) and fictional allusions. Would love to hear Ogawa’s actual inspirations.
