Rivini’s Reviews > First Person Singular: Stories > Status Update

"I imagine most people seeing them on the news might be surprised by their pairing, but the sense of discomfort I felt was far more individual, like an actual tingling pain in my skin. There was something unhealthy about it, like the feeling of helpless impotence you get when you've been taken by a bizarre scheme." Classic Murakami! (affectionate)

"Of all the women I've known until now, she was the ugliest," classic Murakami once again!

I'm liking these stories a lot more than the ones from Men Without Women so far.
