Giles Murray

東野圭吾の小説 "New Comer" を読み終わりましたが、話の内容が面白いだけではなく、英語版の表現が自然で慣用句やしゃれた表現が多いと感じたので気になって、翻訳者のGiles Murray氏について調べてみました。

1966年ロンドン生まれ。
Among his translations are Kumiko Kakehashi's So Sad to Fall in Battle, a biography of the Japanese commander in World War II; The Dignity of the nation, by Masahiko Fujiwara. He also translated Gush by Yo Hemmi
