About the author
Ryū Murakami
255 books3,679 followersRyū Murakami (村上 龍) is a Japanese novelist and filmmaker. He is not related to Haruki Murakami or Takashi Murakami.
Murakami's first work, the short novel Almost Transparent Blue, written while he was still a student, deals with promiscuity and drug use among disaffected Japanese youth. Critically acclaimed as a new style of literature, it won the newcomer's literature prize in 1976 despite some observers decrying it as decadent. Later the same year, Blue won the Akutagawa Prize, going on to become a best seller. In 1980, Murakami published the much longer novel Coin Locker Babies, again to critical acclaim.
Takashi Miike's feature film Audition (1999) was based on one of his novels. Murakami reportedly liked it so much he gave Miike his blessing to adapt Coin Locker Babies. The screen play was worked on by director Jordan Galland. However, Miike could not raise funding for the project. An adaptation directed by Michele Civetta is currently in production.
Murakami has played drums for a rock group called Coelacanth and hosted a TV talk show.

It has been decades since I last read his book “Almost Transparent Blue.”
There are five heartwarming stories in this book and I did enjoy all of them.

一開始想看這本書是因為蠻好奇中年後的生活是什麼模樣，想透過小說來看小人物的生活。
而且又是日本的小說，想說日本算是成為高齡化社會已久的國家，應該可以看到許多故事。
結果才看前兩篇故事就深深感到日本中產階層在中年後的生活也太慘...
存款少得可憐、沒有房子，還只能做打工性質的低薪工作。
他們原本也都是一班上班族，並不是藍領階層，但在被迫退休後卻都變成低薪的工作者。
覺得日本中產階層的人過得生活可能比很多國家的底層還差。
經濟泡沫距今三十幾年，日本沒有成長只有停滯，生活好苦😢
整本書五篇中篇小說讀完的感覺很舒服，淡淡的灰色的氛圍。
沒有激昂的情緒，有的是平淡走人生後半段旅程的心情。
老了就是這樣吧（？）
三十幾歲開始對中老年生活充滿了好奇與害怕，邊看會邊覺得最好要提早做點什麼準備。
但好像也無從預知未來會發生什麼事，能做的大概就是盡力囉～
