Ebook About “Some novelists hold a mirror up to the world and some, like Haruki Murakami, use the mirror as a portal to a universe hidden beyond it.” —The Wall Street Journal A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami.The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides. Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.Book First Person Singular: Stories Review :
It was a quiet café. No-one sitting outside although a weak sun was just beginning to show itself. I ordered a beer, a Carlsberg, and opened my Kindle. Enjoying a moment of relaxation that we rarely find nowadays. After a few minutes I was aware of the dog that I assumed was the café owner's. It had been snoozing under one of the tables. A large golden coloured labrador type of dog. It could have been a cross between a couple of races, but the end result seems favourable as canine genetics go."What are you reading?" asked the dog politely. Naturally I was taken aback as you can imagine. A talking dog was something I had not encountered before. However rather than express my surprise, I answered as is fitting for a such a well mannered question."Its Murakami's new book." I had to say quickly. "First Person Singular, its called""Ah yes" countered the dog. "I was intrigued by that story about the talking monkey in Japan.""Mmmmm." I tried to make my reply sound positive as I was still bemused by the fact that the labrador here could talk an excellent human language. In fact clearer than many my fellow men."Normally I not a fan of collections of short stories." I had to add. "But this book seems ok. I prefer his longer novels. Although I am not a great fan of all those deep holes and little people. I much prefer his desciptions of his lifestyle in Japan.""Know what you mean." interjected my canine conversational companion. "I had better leave you in peace"I read a few more pages, if that is the right expression about a Kindle, then decided to pay for the beer and get back home. I went to the door of the café but found to my consternation that it was locked an barred. A notice said - "Closed due to Covid19". I looked round, There was no-one there and no sign of a light brown labrador This book suffers from the same maladies as Murakami’s other works of fiction. By this I mean that there is no sense of place, time or character in his writings. These are all hallmarks of good literature, but sorely lacking here. His writings in foreign settings always ring hollow and those set in his native Japan don’t come across as authentic. This is simply another collection of Pop Fiction in which Murakami once again tries too hard to rely on fabricated memories, cliches, overly manufactured situations and mindless tangents, not to mention his characteristic over-sentimentality.Many critics attribute Murakami’s style to magic realism, but it is magic realism only in the the way Japanese anime or manga are magic realism. This is style over substance, while lacking depth and is akin to a sugar high one gets from consuming too many empty calories. Murakami’s weirdness is often simply for the sake of weirdness and to grab attention without much depth or deeper meaning.There is good reason why Murakami is more popular overseas than he is in Japan, since he is hawking a version of Japanese life which does not exist in Japan and never has. As such, he is guilty of the worst sin for a writer, which is one of dishonesty and illusion. This may work for those who lack a certain familiarity or first hand experience with Japan, but it is widely dismissed by readers with a deeper understanding of the country, its culture and customs.Murakami’s fiction presents a very distorted and unrealistic view of Japan and its society - one that is completely divorced from reality and exists only in his mind. One may try to forgive this if it at least facilitated a better understanding or shed some deeper light into contemporary Japan, but sadly he does not even attempt to go there. In some strange way, Murakami seems to be presenting a cliched and fetishized West to his Japanese readers, while at the same time presenting a cliched and fetishized Japan to foreign readers (albeit with a contemporary flair).Like most of his earlier fiction, I find this latest collection of Murakami’s stories quite unsatisfying and one that leaves a bad aftertaste, much like haphazardly put together fusion food or fusion music. It may be fine for readers looking for some light summer reading on the beach, but in my opinion it does not place Murakami in the same league as other great writers of our time.
