There are many others that are familiar. I kind of like it
well, I feel sorry for the great writer if I don't read one of his works properly. As it happens, I have a new "Listen to the Wind" at hand, and that's it.
I wonder if the words "Listen to the wind" came from one of China's ancient poems. They are so poetic and imaginative. Classical elegance and Zhuang zi's meaning is the first work of Haruki Murakami, a Japanese writer.
"Listen to the Wind" is a short novella with 7, words. "However, it is these 7, words that make Murakami a famous writer from an obscure jazz bar owner."
"Listen to the Wind" is a microcosm of all the novels in Chunchun, and no matter the protagonist's maverick character, the language style of the text, refreshing rhetoric, or Haruki Murakami's humor, it has already begun to take shape.

What interests me is that Mr. Lin Shaohua translated the preface at the beginning.
Murakami himself talked about the birth of this novel.
"It's incredible to say that I never thought I could write a novel before I was thirty"? (but he finished it at the age of 29)
borrow money to run a small shop to make ends meet. I have no ambition. When it comes to happiness, I just listen to music every day and read books in my spare time. ? My wife, I and a cat live together in peace.
One day, I got the idea of writing a novel. In short, I wanted to write something. So I went to the stationery store to buy pens and paper. After working late at night, a person sits at the kitchen table and writes something similar to a novel.
He said that there are many things he doesn't understand. Most of them come out very subconsciously. I never had a general idea, but I wrote whatever I wanted anyway, and I wrote it all the way down. It feels like "automatic recording". "
Of course, the first time I wrote all 2 pages, I tore them up and threw them away, and I wrote another 2 pages from the beginning. When rewriting, only the original story outline is used. No matter what the metaphor or other things are, we don't adopt realistic methods, just write as we please or as a joke. Writing and writing, I feel that "the muscles of the whole body begin to stretch freely" and I feel comfortable.
I write while drinking beer at the kitchen table every night. I write for an hour at most, but I am "very happy".
I wrote it for the second time and sent it directly to the editorial department of Group Images. As a result, I won the newcomer award.
At that time, five members of the jury, famous writers and literary critics, all passed.

After reading the introduction, I suddenly became very interested, but after reading it, it was somewhat boring. There are even some unclear and unclear. It is really like Murakami's own "sense of alienation" and "sense of nothingness".
Also, there are still huge differences in book selection habits, personality traits, knowledge and experience, and preferences. And cultural.
After all, it's an award-winning and famous novel by Haruki, but I still read it carefully.
The story is not complicated. It is a kind of memory. That summer started on August 8, 7 and ended 18 days later. 2-year-old "me" and "? Mouse "and" Jie ",an intersection and friendship in the journey of life. We got together, often drank, chatted and went out in Jay's bar, and spent a confused holiday. ?
The clear line is that "I" met a girl who was drunk and fell to the ground, and she didn't have a little finger. "Me"? Send her home and stay with her for one night. So far, there is a feeling of constant involvement, from initial hostility to gradual affection, if there is nothing. The holiday is over, "me"? Returning to Tokyo, there was no story of meeting again.
there are many other contents in chapter 4. The jumping in the middle will make you feel lost for a short time. A large number of extremely simple dialogues support the plot, and some fragments are suddenly interrupted and omitted, leaving many imaginary gaps.
it's really not easy to read without considering the background and age at that time.
fortunately, I still feel it. To borrow Haruki Murakami's words, I just want to build my own room there, which can make me feel relieved (in order to save myself) and hopefully become a comfortable place for others to feel relieved and live.
The suites of this writing house he built are of different sizes and are in a mess. When you go in and have a look, it will take time. After careful observation, you will gradually understand the meaning and layout. Fortunately, however, there are music, lyrics, records and radio, movies, and well-articulated writers' remarks, which have novel experiences and understandings.
"alienation, nothingness, loneliness and sense of humor constitute the basic mood of Murakami's works."
Listen to the wind. Looking back on that summer, I was confused, disorderly and confused, but I had the most real touch about my life experience.

Try to understand the characteristics of Murakami's novels. Found a different understanding.
If you are confused by Murakami's own casual explanation, and think that a novel can produce a good work completely by inspiration and little preparation, you are all wet.
First, Haruki Murakami went to Tokyo at the age of 19 to study drama in the First Faculty of Arts of Waseda University. Graduated from college at the age of 26.
Apart from opening a bar, I used to read books since I was a child. I read an amazing amount and read a lot of books, covering a wide range. He himself once said that in high school, I collected old books, tattered books with a sense of the times, and the excellent ones were not excellent. In short, the more the better.
if you have more time, do a good job of reading first, and there is no hurry to write.
Only after reading and thinking for decades can you suddenly wake up when you watch a baseball game in a certain scene. I want to write a novel. I think this is actually a waterway, and it has reached a state of rapids like waterfalls.
he just needs an opportunity, and once he writes a name, that's it.
This can actually be seen from his "Listen to the Wind". The two protagonists, "I" love reading, because of "Emotional Education" and replied "Because Flaubert has already died." Living writers don't read books? ....., and another hero, "Rat", can also write novels. Therefore, throughout the book, there are a lot of dialogues, reflecting the spark of thinking. There are also many foreign writers and works, famous sayings, music, lyrics, record titles, movie titles, radio stations, etc. Sometimes the name of a book, a writer's idea, or a directly translated lyric appears.

Of course, what surprised me most was that the book focused on Hartfeld, an American writer who influenced me. I almost thought this was the real person, the writer's family background, address, The Well of Mars, the description in the book and the writer's ideas. At the end of the novel, "I" traveled all the way to the town to visit the writer's tomb, and it took me an hour to find Hartfeld's tomb. Put your hands together to mourn and collect wild roses ...?
finally, I realized that this important celebrity in the book was also fabricated, and it was really a novel. Hartfeld is actually the embodiment of Haruki Murakami.
As Haruki Murakami said at the beginning:
He spoke the minds of the creators.
