.. fascinating read & presentation .. I really give a fucknot re the dude’s writing yet admire greatly the plasticfantastic physical evidence .. Daffy Duck in a Cathedral.. well amen ! now we talkin !
More interesting is your Tale of It & page structure presentation / layout.. how you slice & dice the guy’s writings like slips of paper inside ‘virtual fortune cookie’ - the cropped screengrabs & underlining (mapping ?) within your experiences & descriptions perspectives.. (glee ! ?)
This joint ? I just dunno.. my thoughts churn while plodding or clawing through so much well intended stuff mainly - for any clues or sightings re next oasis .. & reflecting ones I’ve found..
Did you read or know about the San Quentin Project ? It’s a great oasis I found here.. re ‘mapping of photos’ - having worked in Maximum Security I had instant affinity.. as a documentary shooter.. so that’s an example - where I immediately ‘reflected’ the endeavour.. bingo bango.. same re the woman who keeps bees in Orkney - I’m gifted at finding Exemplars .. tell me about your previous work .. you were a machinist.. do I recall ? 🏴☠️🦎🇨🇦
Read all of Murakami up to Killing Commendatore, and have most in 1st editions (in translation, of course). I think my favorite is still Kafka on the Shore!
When I was in undergrad, I had an English professor did not understand why the session with Murakami. Best way I can express it is watching someone who does not quite understand what he is looking at but is fascinated at the same time. It's like reading a story where the narrator is a participant in two other people talking about something that they don't quite understand. And the hilarity that ensues.
Would also recommend Colorless Tsukuru and his years of Pilgrimage. It's on the shorter side and was even referenced in the popular TV show The Bear.
There’s another Murakami who is also good n feels like a darker version of Haruki n that’s Ryu Murakami- his short novel Audition is gripping

Love Murakami- his books take you for a ride. I just finished “Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of The World”. Would highly recommend
