- Hello everyone
Wow, what have I been missing all these years not reading Murakami?
In this review, I talk about his book on seven short stories of men without women. It was described as poignant by reviewers and I'd agree to that. Each story revealed a flawed man (who yes, did have women in their lives) who despite this, were lonely figures trying to find out more about themselves.
What did I learn about this?
Well this book got me down the rabbit hole of Gregor Samsa. He was the character who morphed into a dung beetle in Kafka's Metamorphosis. I was intrigued - after spending 263 days in lockdown in Melbourne - that this covid pandemic had each of us transforming (either good or bad) into someone else. The exploration came about with one of the stories of Murakami.... ah books, they make you go down such curious adventures don't they?
Have you read any of Murakami? I'm interested to read more of his books. What do you suggest I read next of his?
Happy reading!
