After the Quake

Product Information

Yoshiya is born to an eccentric single mother who is 'born again' after several unfortunate couplings.

Meraviglioso racconto che adotta la forte metafora del terremoto per sconfinare in un limbo di consapevolezza.

Junpei grew up in Nishinomiya and, after graduating from high school, went to study literature at Waseda University. Even if you think this book isn’t in your normal wheelhouse (it wasn’t for me), perhaps you’ll really like it. Entitled after the quake, the play was first performed at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in association with La Jolla Playhouse, and opened October 12, 2007 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Sure I could analyze some of the events that followed, but it felt kind of pointless to me in the end. Junpei fills the void and is eventually told by Takatsuki that he should marry Sayoko; Junpei is unsure regarding whether it is the right thing to do. The menacing little seismographic printout on the translucent dustjacket of this stylishly produced book says it all. Murakami, who grew up on the outskirts of Kobe, helped his parents move to Kyoto after the earthquake destroyed their home. And if you've ever been curious about Murakami but are understandably reluctant to dive into one of his novels (that tend to be really long), reading a couple of these short stories might let you know whether you'd like him or not.Like a turtle pulling into its shell, she slipped her right hand up inside her sleeve, and then there was a light back-scratching kind of movement. His parents also discover that he lied to them about studying business and they disown him; nonetheless his literary careers shows promise. She talks with Nimit about jazz and the quake; they also talk about her former husband who left her because he said that she did not want to have children. They then proceed to have intercourse on the living room couch and Junpei continually holds back on ejaculation, not wanting the moment to end. A doctor decides to take a week vacation in Thailand, a friend sets her up with a driver/tour guide.
