Late Night Murakami


"Yet somehow, guided by this seemingly random convergence of thirty-six coincidences, I find myself communicating with you." --- from The Kangaroo Communiqué, The Elephant Vanishes, 1993 (English Edition 2001)

This is why I love Haruki Murakami. A simple sentence that digs deep into the lore of logic and a deluge of revelation erupts from the deepest depths of the mind, like the wind-up Ol' Faithful.
