Haruki Murakami. 1Q84. The balance of the world both by other worlds.
Still under the effects caused by Murakami's prose I write. "Knew" this author of Kafka on the shore and TOKYO BLUES (more realistic). You have to keep my mind very "open" to digest the "friend" Haruki.
is the usual formula, the ingredients well, mix them with skill and results in a hypnotic novel avidly devour unfinished know for sure their meaning, if any.
page 479 of "1Q84" may contain a "justification" of his work: "if history is fascinating and draws the reader to the end ..." "I knew what they meant, but that did not matter." I do not want
that has no meaning, some may perceive, but what does it matter? Gradually immerses us in an imaginary world, illogical, always gateways to the world, will you be open, be closed? Forests may well be a "VACUUM? , Do you dream? (Kafka on the shore) or the imagination, creativity, as it seems in this case 1Q84.
missing elements that Murakami:
References to classical music (Bach. ..) and "present" (Rolling. ..). Everything revolves around a melody: TOKYO BLUES NORWEGIAN WOOD starts with the Beatles playing in the background music of an airport in 1Q84 Janacek's Sinfonietta is heard in the radius of a taxi at the beginning and appears in the novel.
References to literature: the obvious ORWELL, The Brothers Karamazov, Chekhov, Alice in Wonderland ...
dreams or dream world, the ubiquitous kittens (May speak in Kafka ...) and crows ("the boy named Crow" is the consciousness of the protagonist Kafka), food (with miso soup reminds me of Enid Blyton with ginger cake), the strange, fantastic (Nakata, the Little People), chapters erotic, more or less explicit, the SUSPENSE! (Read the Berto-Hitchcock maniera if you are buenafuentinos), unfailingly suicide, fears and insecurities inherent to humans, the detailed descriptions, words, phrases, ideas in italics and the ineffable Latin phrase "ad hoc".
Issues of will, freedom, the scatological (not excrement but on the metaphysical) and a story interspersed.
In my opinion the book you can spare a significant number of pages, describes almost to reach the pinnacle, is "repeated" too, like he wants to leave us well recorded that "change in the train tracks, into a world that THIS IS NOT.
I see some contradiction in the Aomame character, an assassin who is concerned about a plant, whether you can have the life of a fish when killing people. But is that human beings are like that and Murakami describes him and mesmerizes us with her simple prose, illogical, "fantáástica and fascinating" (Mannerism punsetiano)
I liked this "tribute" to the moon in the name of the human species . As I am a homo heidelbergensis has transported me to my natural habitat and time:
page 662: "As he stared absently the moonlight, a kind of inherited memories of ancient times came to his memory ... had lit a dark world and had eased the fear of people. Its phases had provided the human sense of time. It seemed that the feeling of gratitude to the selfless compassion de la Luna estaba fuertemente arraigado in the genes of the human species ... as a warm MEMORY Collective.
In short and for Return WORLD "real" 2011
"Questions DEMASIADAS AND VERY LITTLE RESPUESTAS" (p. 657)
PS: after this that wants to roll musiqueta related Haruki that with the look. You can listen to Janáček Sinfonietta mentioned in Bach (St. Matthew Passion According o Well-Tempered Harpsichord), all named in 1Q84, or jazz you like it very directly to this "closed minds open to writers . oxymoron? Paradox?
see if I'm going to make excuses ... that MOU has
