Adam M. Beal comments:
Mr. Seidensticker recently visited the language school I attended last year for an all-too-brief talk on translation, his experiences in dealing with authors, and the like.
It was quite an experience, and I very much recommend that anyone with an interest in J-E translation attend if at all possible. He is not to be missed.
