That’s a new record for how fast Murakami has offended me in a novel.

“And once that happens, it’s like acid corroding metal: scenes of her eating spread through my head and I lose control.
“Your plain fat woman is fine. Fat women are like clouds in the sky. Theyre just floating there, nothing to do with me. But your young, beautiful fat woman is another story. I am demanded to assume a posture toward her. I could end up sleeping with her.“

“Around young, beautiful, fat women, I am generally thrown into confusion. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because an image of their dietary habits naturally congeals in my mind. She. I see a goodly sized woman, I have a vision of her mopping that last drop of cream sauce with bread, wolfing down that final sprig of watercress garnish from her plate.”

“He leaned again the thick mast with his eyes closed, as if waiting for something.”

How can you see that his eyes are closed when HE. HAS. NO. FACE.

Idiot.

I really think it should bother more people that this grown ass man (late 30’s) was having a casual conversation with a 13 year old girl about her flat chest and nipple size while her aunt was chaperoning in the next room. Why doesn’t that come up in everyone’s reviews?

“-but her vagina was more exquisite, more wonderously varied, than any other I’d ever known. And it was a deplorable thing that it had lain there, unused for so many years.” 🥴

“I also had a feeling akin to fear about women with larger than normal breasts. I don’t know if that has anything to do with my sister or the way her breasts were just beginning to develop when she died. Still, I’ve always been attracted to women with more modest breast, and every time I see them, every time I touch them, I remember my sister…” 🤡
