read this novel
by Haruki Murakami
quite sometimes ago
and I pretty like it
and immediately move on to
《Kafka by The Shore》
next up should be
《1Q84》
heard it’s good
it’s gonna be a huge project
shamefully speaking
I gave up reading
for months
believing I will be getting
a tablet like iPad soon
and can read everything
in electronic form
the tablet never been realized yet
so I just hang on there
waiting for books
to fall into my brain
who would not know him
if you have been keeping an eye
on Asian stuffs
even you don’t
if you know modern literature
should at least have heard of him
described as
"among the world's greatest living novelists"
by The Guardian
more commonly known as
村上春樹
in the oriental world
I read the mandarin version too
maybe someday should try English
to see whether it makes any difference
but English one should be quite original
because the author himself
specializes in English-Japanese translation work
and of course
if I ever master Japanese
it is still the best
to stick to the original version
nostalgic story
above love, youth, life
to be specific
loss and sexuality
I always like this kind
of themes
just like 《Hiroshima Mon Amour》
well life is not a bed of roses
these are the real paintings
the real illustration of
how do you deal with
your own feelings
sexuality…
it’s not something pornographic
just that as body contact
get more intimate
the more you find out
about the other person
and those great work of art
it always amaze me
to find out from where
does the title come from
Norwegian Wood??
yes..
it is that classic by The Beatles
as one of fav track
that the protagonist
learnt to strum
on his guitar
Norwegian Wood / The Beatles
contrasting the novel
this is a folk song
but closer look at the lyric
it may not be
this is the wonder of the boys
okay
the movie trailer
which made its appearance at the
67th Venice Film Festival
Norwegian Wood Movie trailer
regarding the movie
I have reserved my comments
till I really have the opportunity
to watch the whole film
because most of the time
fill fall off the high expectation
I always have
