Here is a link to a surprisingly casual interview with the ever-elusive Haruki Murakami, conducted by a young Korean journalism student.I linked to the metafilter thread since the interview is contained in four parts therein. Also, do check the comments for some extra material from the original Korean interview that someone else has translated, ( Read more... )

That's fantastic, Murakami is very popular with my beloved and I shall pass this on to her with compliments. I like him too, but oddly enough, often fail to finish his novels in one go before i move on to something else.

I'm surprised, but I'm so with you on the LOST score.

The most exciting thing about the premiere in my humble opinion was the scene in which hurley comes up jacob's cabin and is able to see jacob, with jack's dead pappy in the rocking chair and jacob staring through the peephole. hurley's ability to see jacob, and where libby comes from (if she's real, if she's a fraud) are the points I focus on as to what the hell is going on.

also, forgive me, i've had lots of wine tonight. i hope that made sense.

i often can't finish murakami novels in one go either...maybe that's the beauty of it, the prose that allows to linger around the novel without forgetting it. right now my current murakami endeavor is stacked on the back of the toilet with my responsible bhuddist non-fiction. i have this guilty urgency to finish kafka's metamorphosis, while the murakami waits for me patiently.

i wish you hadn't told the metamorphosis was about a cockroach. i can't imagine how the first 15 pages would have unfolded for me if i hadn't known...

Libby's a strange one, giving boats to wine making monks and being a widowed mental patient and all. Y'know, the more I try and recall all the plot threads of that show the closer I come to having a brain hernia.

Also thanks, I'd not spotted Jack's dead poppy in the Jacob cabin. Curiouser and curiouser.

I guess I should put some Murakami on the list of books to read this year. *sigh* There are a great many books.

Also, this is coool
