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.
