Funny Topic To Write About

Sputnik, my love


K. , a school teacher, tells his strange Sumire regarding , an extroverted, uninhibited young woman who pretends to be a writer. Sumire falls in love with Myu , middle-aged woman he meets because the girl hired as a secretary and fix-all in the family business. Myu know this love, and even feel sympathy for Sumire, feels responsible for his disappearance during his travels for business and pleasure, and calls K. to help you find it.

are, in every rule, a one-way love triangle of love, where the long loneliness, repressed feelings of love and emotional isolation is the main theme of the book. Or we might think so, because the books Haruli Murakami is, so to speak modern, polyhedral. They have many facets and varied aspects. The elements of loneliness and alienation are also present his his next novel, Kafka on the shore , but in a possibly more realistic. A journey, a quest, a door that can be crossed in certain circumstances of transformation of consciousness. The door you reach other levels of existence, where we see ourselves doing things we usually do, or we like to do.

The author is not explicit about the meaning of these doors, so common in his novels. There are, of course, mere metaphors that we can easily understand. So Therefore, these two novels by Murakami are open to personal interpretation, free and private. The mine owners is the ability to change his life, the capacity we all have to reach a turning point in our ambitions and desires, the power to take away the band and thought that our ego, our own idea of \u200b\u200bourselves, placed in front of our heart. Sumire and Myu suffer similar events, even events which cause significant physiological changes, involving the door that leads us to the reality that lies beyond ourselves.

The differences between the two novels cited are, nevertheless, important. The first-person narrator serves conductive track of the story, and takes us into his feelings much more than the protagonists of Kafka . Kafka door is very clear and concise, in fact corresponds to a physical element, a stone or tile. Here we assume that Sumire has crossed to return to the world through a telephone call to K, where it has little that is good. All will become clear later, it is expected a happy ending, but Murakami removed the explanation to the reader. The life of K. is well organized and methodical, is a thoughtful and intelligent person, compared with the characters of Kafka on the shore. Finally, Sputnik is much shorter almost one long story, which makes many loose ends are left, besides the lack of explanation for the disappearance of the girl. Perhaps as important things in life that we never dominate or control.

Murakami writes a novel haunting and reflective, an incontrovertible piece of literature, undoubtedly is a connoisseur of the deepest feelings of the soul, and also a great constructors of a world full of puzzles and personal mysteries.

or should one have never anything but a writer is to fill sheets of words and words, phrases, sentences and predicates, in long disquisitions on end, where reason, to infer and observe. If writers do not tell anything ever, if there is literature, if only we could fill the libraries of objects and events, then you might think, and explain our reasoning, and so humans would wander in the world like Jacques Deza, or James, or Jacob, or Jake, a character directly emanated from the mind of Javier Marias, expressed in a monumental work called "Your Face Tomorrow," "Your Face Tomorrow", but has also marched in the pages of "All souls. "Deza, a name that hides the same Mary, without being the same person, English expatriate in England, artist by profession, in the darkest gear British secret service, MI6, MI5, SAS, are just acronyms, abbreviations hiding the depth of state terrorism, the necessary decisions, of justification of the lesser evil.

Jaques, Iago, James, dismembered heart, travels through a novel reading we could go for five years, hiding in a major city, hidden in another nationality without fear but homeless, is able to see, is one of the few people who have chosen Sir Peter Wheeler with the ability to peer into the human soul of others, to check and break down defenses and verbal gestures that we make our character, our thoughts, our intentions. James, or James, has a gift, a gift tiny, and while you exercise, meditate on the nature of their work in the building without a name, in a quiet and unique, with a head cold and sharp, with a name perhaps also abroad, TUPRAS is not possible to be British, or yes, what result, perhaps originating in the West Midlands, or Exmoor or Dartmoor, or one small corner of the empire, possibly Asian, but where. With the right touch of intrigue, work in the service of His Majesty has advantages, MarĂ­as is framing all perspectives and frames that have been drawn in the two previous volumes, for, although one should not say, shut the door in a final volume and final demolition. Marias, ie, Javier, or Xavier, or Saveiro, is exhausted, and do not know if you will be able to write another novel, looks tired and empty, after the abandonment of his character returning to Madrid to close a chapter in disgust for their actions, because their heart will never go against your eyes, my heart Shall never countermand mine eye.

What is the book? One should not say, but about all the violence, of machismo, terror, fear, personal favors, power, of immense power and pervasiveness of power, of prescience, of cowardice, of love, obsession, prejudice, blackmail of betrayal, Deza's father, who was jailed by a false accusation by his university colleagues, the only real names that appear in the novel, the Real and Santa-Olalla, who were responsible for Julian Marias away from the university to always an injustice that is applied over and over again, ignoring differences between the dictatorship of Franco and extortion of democratic states. Franco, just the second name of Mary, sad fate of a name, a family . Finally drawings, sketches, notes indicating slightly or unintentionally, such as novelist, writer, scholar, is similar to work to interpret, invent or infer thoughts, but without cruelty, without the need for everything to be in England, for the common good, or your own, that is morally the same. More or less. Marias

up your best, longer and more complete novel,
and for my taste, improve their language contains repetitions and strives to tie all the threads in a final conversation with Peter Wheeler, inspired by Sir Peter Russell Hispanist . There wait a few decades to see whether this work meets the espectivativas to be the best novel of the last fifty years, but we should not say anything to-morrow in the battle think of me, and fall thy edgeless sword, despair, and die.
