Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. -Søren KierkegaardIt is a shame that we cannot relive the past, only merely recreate it. We bear the scars of events we can only comprehend in retrospect, but must rely on flawed memory and biased examinations of what truly came to pass. Internationally acclaimed novelist Haruki Murakamis 2014 novel, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimagea title that screams of pure Murakami whimsy and flair, is a novel aboutAs a fan of Haruki Murakami's, this book thrilled me! That's because this novel combines an intriguing and puzzling plot with a beautiful and simple way of looking at life. I was fascinated with the protagonist's way of thinking and dealing reasonably with life, and furthermore it was a pleasure to once again read a story set in Japan because it inevitably intertwines with Japanese culture. Regrettably, this book didn't come with a lot of magical realism which is, however, a common trait of
I'm sorry, but I have to ask you not to call us anymore.So says one of Tsukuru Tazaki's four close-knit friends in high school. They were inseparable, four fingers and a thumb. But without explanation, Tsukuru is cut loose.And so, colorless, Tsukuru Tazaki watches train stations. (I thought maybe Murakami was channeling Bohumil Hrabal, but he's not.)

As ever music plays an important role, here it is a melancholy piece, Le mal du pays by Liszt which I listened to via youtube.There is no resolution which is again
Tsukuru Tazaki, 36 years old and living in Tokyo, is a moderately wealthy, well-educated engineer who designs and builds railroad stations - a job he's wanted since childhood. Nevertheless Tsukuru has few friends, is lonely, and can't see a happy future for himself. Part of the problem is a trauma Tsukuru experienced as a teen. In high school Tsukuru was part of an extremely close group of friends - two girls and three boys - that spent most of their free time together, always had things to talk
For most of his teenage age Colorless was part of an inseparable five person group, three boys, two girls. Until one day he wasn't, told he had done something so terrible he was cut out off the group, they would no longer acknowledge him nor have anything to do with him. But why? What had he done? Almost driven to suicide but never really asking what had happened, it will not be until many years later that he will get some of these answers.I had a weird relationship with this book, when I was
The phone rang as I was slicing potatoes for a massuman curry one afternoon whist listening to Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue. I didnt particularly want to answer the phone as it was likely to be a telemarketer, but it could be someone phoning about possible work.So how is it so far? asked a womans voice on the other end.Our phone line is terrible, but I still did not recognize the voice.Excuse me? I think you may have the wrong number.No, I have the correct number. How are you finding Murakamis new
