Abstract This article investigates a problem that has been underexamined in Murakami scholarship so far, namely what I will call tatemashi (stacking), a method of novel-writing which Murakami Haruki used twice in his career, first in Nejimakidori Kuronikuru and later in 1Q84. In both cases, Murakami first published a shorter, two-volume version, but later stacked up the novel with a third volume. This article studies the various problems surrounding this writing method. I suggest that edits during the translation process of the two novels into English have made it impossible to detect why tatemashi was carried out. By studying the Japanese versions, I identify that a main reason for tatemashi to happen is the thrust of a storyline that calls for the development of a ‘smaller-scale’ story of personal self-discovery into a ‘larger-scale’ tale of commitment to an ‘other’.

村上春树作品中的馆藏问题：比较《发条鸟编年史》和《1Q84》

摘要 本文探讨了村上春树学术界迄今未充分研究的一个问题，即我将称之为 tatemashi（堆叠）的一种小说写作方法，村上春树在他的职业生涯中曾两次使用过小说写作方法，首先是在 Nejimakidori Kuronikuru，后来是在 1Q84。在这两种情况下，村上隆首先出版了一个较短的两卷版本，但后来将小说与第三卷叠加在一起。本文研究围绕这种写作方法的各种问题。我认为这两部小说在翻译成英文的过程中进行了编辑，因此无法查明为什么要进行馆藏。通过学习日语版本，
