The economy was booming. People had more money than they knew what to do with. And then the earthquake struck. For the characters in After the Quake, the Kobe earthquake is an echo from a past they buried long ago. Satsuki has spent thirty years hating one man: a lover who destroyed her chances of having children. Did her desire for revenge cause the earthquake? Junpei's estranged parents live in Kobe. Should he contact them? Miyake left his family in Kobe to make midnight bonfires on a beach hundreds of miles away. Fourteen-year-old Sala has nightmares that the Earthquake Man is trying to stuff her inside a little box. Katagiri returns home to find a giant frog in his apartment on a mission to save Tokyo from a massive burrowing worm. 'When he gets angry, he causes earthquakes,' says Frog. 'And right now he is very, very angry'.
This new collection of stories, from one of the world's greatest living writers, dissects the violence beneath the surface of modern Japan.
##I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
評分##I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
評分##看瞭看上次的標記,已經距離第一次讀過去瞭快十年瞭。真是可怕。其實村上的短故事比他的長篇文學性要好。他長篇真的掌控不好符號的結構和故事的推進。倒是短篇最後的反轉永遠特彆帥氣。
評分##中文版是《神的孩子全跳舞》
評分##地震之後讀《地震之後》。
評分村上的after the quake裏六篇short story,兩篇發在紐約客,發在格蘭塔雜誌的Thailand不知道為什麼覺得很是特彆,但最喜歡的還是那篇發在GQ的青蛙君拯救東京。跑步時一直在想super frog saves tokyo這個短故事。之所以喜歡這隻青蛙,不僅因為他引用尼采和陀斯妥耶夫斯基,更因為它慈悲。當katagiri這個四十歲的loser說自己隻是eat,sleep,shit時,青蛙君說瞭讓人感動的話:整個東京隻有你纔能幫我,我就是要拯救像你這樣的人。這大緻是蛋與牆的主題瞭。即便覺得自己活得豬狗不如、瞭無生趣、一生也就這樣瞭,青蛙還是惦記著你,拼死也要拯救你,即便你從來不知道有這樣一隻青蛙拯救瞭世界。
評分##不是很好。
評分##I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
評分##雖然寫的故事不算幸福,但是整體給人感覺卻很溫暖。其實還是很上進的。
