![]() ![]() ![]() Reading Men Without Women welled up many sad memories, but Murakami’s prose helped shed a fresh, invigorating light on what has been a dark period of my life.Īs I have done before on this blog, I compiled a list of quotes as I read through Murakami’s new book. The contents were a familiar palate, to me perhaps more so than any other Murakami, but as is usual, the author warps the distressing and the depressing into beautiful tales, both enlightening and inspiring. I started it fresh into a new era of loneliness, and finished it well accustomed to the world of Men Without Women. I’m kind of glad that I put it off for a while. In many ways, this book epitomised and still epitomises my situation. I experienced perhaps the loneliest birthday of my life so far, and that May was the last time I ever heard from my ex-girlfriend. Some other notable things happened that month. I had a lot to get in order and never got around to picking it up again. I moved home that May, after a two-month period of couch surfing, which is why Men Without Women was adjourned for a while. I finally finished the book this week, almost two years later, and feel I am still going through that break-up. At the time, I was going through a very difficult break-up. I started reading Men Without Women in May 2017, the month it was published in English. ![]()
