murakami i love you, my spirit escapes when i sleep to linger around your keyboard when you write

trying to hard to stay focused on this book but it’s so much about gay people suffering and having no freedom and suffering and dillydallying around england as aristocrats

baby butch and married femme… how could this ever go wrong

“And here I again touch on my problem, on our problem, my unknown friends (—for I as yet know of no friends)”

ok 😭

it’s getting depressing

thinking of gender of early 1900s england…. i wouldn’t have lasted a day… i see myself in an era i never lived in, and it makes me feel far more connected with people similar to me, and i see a larger history involved in the similarity

uncomfortable with the fact that the first mention of feminism in what i’ve read of murakami so far is a mockery of it

got jumpscared by the reference to symposium, it’s literally the book i put off so i can read this one instead

i feel like im being scolded

btw i should be finished this already for school but im behind in my reading sooo…. this gotta be finished by the week i get back bc it’s for a year long course yeaaa

and im not reading the republic on my cwismis break 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️

omg this is so fun T_T it feels like im literally reading a marvel movie, even all the cliche fights and lines and jokes hehehehe im so giggly

it’s getting a little ridiculous like 😭 the thing someone said where a man’s fantasy of being with a lesbian is at its core a rape fantasy was telling the truth im serious

i’ll be sure not to read another murakami book where the main characters aren’t men

also, he cannot write lesbians well

no complaints about anything really but i almost wanna say the book seems a little flat so far because murakami doesn’t know how to write female characters when the main male protagonist isn’t constantly in first person perspective

so far two or three mentions of women’s nipples and their related themes

the similarities between sumire and i are shocking…. even to the size of our apartment and the way we furnish lmao im scared this book may clock me

needs to be finished by friday, can i do it?

hello POL377 and the book i am forced to read
