AICN Anime has news on a couple of upcoming books in translation.

Ryu Murakami's Audition novel, source for the Takashi Miike movie, will be released in North America in June.[*]

The next Yasutaka Tsutsui (Paprika, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) translated novel will be a Alma Books UK release of The Maid, scheduled for March 15.

The Maid was previously published in English by Kodansha, if memory serves, but has been extremely tough to find without shelling out various limbs and internal organs. Audition should be an eye-opener — maybe we can also get the novel that inspired Tokyo Decadence (aka Topaz)?
