Night on the Galactic Railroad & Other Stories from Ihatov by Kenji Miyazawa

3.0

Galaxy as a metaphor my beloved. An enchanting collection, even if the stories weren’t necessarily to my liking. I did enjoy The Star-circling Song and Night on the Galactic Railroad, the latter of which seems to be caught in a place of untranslatability—the English hiding something more profound despite the translator’s efforts (sorry Julianne Neville). Still, a heartfelt read.
