Even if it is sorrowful for me to realize, but the conception of “FASHION” reached already the literature, that side of our life, which can not be under the mainstream, though it is. Omnipresent “FASHION” has already made a choice for us, what to eat, to listen to and read….anyway, I must say THANK YOU, FASHION!!! Thank YOU, MAINSTREAM!!! Because only due to it I found my favorite, marvelous, admirable, fascinating, magnificent, fantastic and simply SUPER author –Haruki Murakami!
Haruki Murakami is popular Japanese writer. His prose is very unusual and self-concentrated. His books might seem to be absolutely non-understandable, but in my opinion, they are really deep and truthful. My favorite one – “Norwegian Wood” – is very gentle, fragile, romantic and youthful. Trilogy of Rat –“Hear the Wind Sing”, “Pinball 1973”, “A Wild Sheep Chase” and continuation “Dance Dance Dance”– deep, sometimes very hard to read, sometimes funny, but always sensitive. “South of the Border, West of the Sun” – about shattering power of love or of desire and memories. Mix together simplicity and complexity of life, depression, sex, women, friends, books, non-standard humor, bear and jazz and you got it – Haruki Murakami!!!!
There are more his books I need to read, and I’m happy about it! I strongly recommend everybody to read him! And if you do so, please start from “Norwegian Wood”!
