I have to write this post. I have just finished reading 'after the quake' by Haruki Murakami and I just have to say it is breath-taking. Murakami has such a simple elegant prose style, such imaginative grasp of narrative form. He is my new favourite author of the moment. I don't know anything about him, apart from the hyperbole that appears on the front and back covers, the highest praises, which are all completely deserved, but that will change. I shall write a long post, with lots of links, concerning him and his work. I shall compile a hypertext dossier on him, and put it all here. I have to write this reminder now because else I may forget. Forgetting is the most natural thing in the world to me, like breathing. Thoughts and memories get lost and displaced amongst the galactic swirl of conciousness that is my mind.
Now, I'm off to eat toast, smoke stale tobacco and hopefully sleep.
