Haruki Murakami

[ja.net]

I found a few threads in other fora, but I thought this was the best place for this.

Sorry if it's a repeat of what's in the other couple of threads, I didn't get a chance to read them all. I'll go back later and delete this if it's redundant.

It's apparently an early novel that hasn't been reissued.

You're breaking my heart, lady. Now I'm going to have to drool over this.

WOW! You guys just made my day. Thanks! Anyone know of any upcoming translations of newer stuff?

I have that book. I bought it years ago because I like to play pinball. Pin-Bot, High Speed, Guns 'n' Roses at UCLA, Raji's, and the Casbah... And Superman at Eric's house.

Hm. Ebay?

Do you have Kosinski's Pinball too? That would be just for the title though.

I have the Kodansha copy, too. I got it at a great used book store in Chicago. I think 1 of my friends had mentioned it so that's why I got it and it just sat on the shelf for years because it just seemed so bleak.. but then I finally did about 2 years ago and really liked it.

I always wondered why there's a Japanese glossary in the back.

there's an interview with murakami in the latest issue of the paris review.

Osakabe has numerous never-before-translated stories, essays, etc. on that site. There are even 10 chapters of amateur translation of Murakami's forthcoming novel Kafka On the Shore. He's really nice and we've chatted many times about Murakami's work.

Please permit me to shamelessly plug my Murakami collection. It's hard to see everything since I'm doubled up on the top shelf, but I've been collecting his work since I first read Wild Sheep Chase in 1989.

why u have duplicates of stuff?

[nagasawa]

Some are signed. Others are condition upgrades.

[ja.net]

Finally! Somebody posted a photo *I* can masturbate to.

[ja.net]

Uh, I meant to say, that's disgusting. Please remove that photo immediately.

Seriously though, no protection for the spines?From sun I mean?

[nagasawa]

Another short stack of titles I've added in the last few months. Murakami recipe books are pretty neat and are compilations of recipes either eaten or prepared by characters in his novels.






Osakabe has a printable version of Pinball 1973 on his site for those who don't wish to pay $200.00+ for a copy on eBay.
