MURAKAMI’S WORLD
The first time I read Murakami’s work was in 2009. My friend was a novel freak and I happened to borrow her book, ‘Norwegian Wood’, which was the only Japanese novel she had. The book was well translated into Indonesian and that was the time I called it ‘love at the first reading’. Murakami had changed my view about how novel should be, he could make us entering his world, the way he described the situation, the way he chose the right words and the beautiful poem-like writing style is ready to accompany you to the end of his book.
I wrote my thesis based on ‘Norwegian Wood’ and I enjoyed it very much, I could answer the tutor’s questions for all day if it’s about his novel.
I began to collect his works, both English and Japanese version and no matter what languages, the beauty of his novel is hard to describe. Murakami doesn’t solve anything in his novels; he let us stay in a mystery together with the main character, perhaps for some people it’s bad to leave your readers confused, but for me, it’s a charm that no other writers have.
The observer even said that he is ‘the best novelist on the planet’ and I can’t agree more with that. He is just amazing.
Here are my favorite lines from Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki:
"You can hide memories, but you can't erase the history that produced them"
“Still, being able to feel pain was good, he thought. It's when you can't even feel pain anymore that you're in real trouble.”
“Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language.”
