Reading to see life | Haruki Murakami's thoughts after reading "Men Without Women"

Motivation for book selection

I think my job is to observe people and the world instead of judging them. - Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami is a well-known Japanese writer, and "Men Without Women" is the first work that interests me.

The title fascinates me, even though the gut feeling is: "Women without men" might be more deadly, mysterious, and charming.

Seven short stories, about parting, mentioning loyalty and infidelity, but without any criticism, leaving only loneliness.

Impression chapter

<Drive My Car>

The relationship between people, especially the relationship between men and women, is a more overall problem, more ambiguous, more capricious, and more tragic.

Alcoholics are roughly divided into two categories: those who have to drink in order to add something to themselves , and those who do not have to drink in order to remove something for themselves .

I belong to the latter. When I was a student who liked to drink, I thought that alcohol could remove unimportant worries and leave only the most important issues in my heart .

No matter how much they should know each other or how much they love each other, it is impossible to fully penetrate the hearts of others.

This is what I have always thought of as a love song. Even with the cognition that "people are always alone in their entire lives", they still feel that they can't "completely give the other person everything they have" verbally and physically, which is quite regrettable and realistic. complete right?

My wife is strong-willed and a woman of depth. Take time to think slowly and quietly about things. But why is her heart attracted to this kind of man who has no advantages, so she has to be hugged by him?

"Independent Organs"

Doctor Duhui, who seems to have everything, maintains contacts with many women in the gray area, and has no commitment or responsibility in the relationship.

For the Duhui, as long as they can only think of themselves when they meet them, it is enough.

The two sides are in tacit understanding. It seems that they can absorb excitement, warm sexiness, and love of unknown proportions in the moment they get along, and then return to reality and face life. Parting is more familiar to men and women who are used to this kind of relationship. A gift and a few blessings end each other.

However, Du Hui met a special existence. She was not the most beautiful, not the best figure, nor the smartest mind, but a woman who would make him feel deeply lost after separation.

You are not experiencing some strange experience beyond the common sense of the world. Just loving a woman seriously. Feeling like you don't want to lose someone you love.

In love, we escape from external conditions, and even internal conditions do not have to be reviewed, and we feel special and deeply in love. No matter what kind of love view we have, there may be no clear reason for it.

Although we have traveled with different people in terms of emotional and spiritual support, in addition to expressing gratitude to the passing guests, we should also cherish the lover in front of us. After all, how hard it is to truly love and support each other. ( Fiction to see life | Before the next reunion, live a good life )

〈 Sher Harassade 〉

Every time she has sex with Habara, she tells a funny, incredible story.

There seems to be a chaotic mix of reality and speculation, observation and dream.

The women written by Murakami have their own reasons for attracting the protagonist of the story. This is a woman who specializes in storytelling and accurately grasps the paragraph "Let's share it next time", quite enjoying the lazy time after intimacy.

Just like the various "friends with guns" in the Japanese drama "I'll Live Better in the Next Life", intimacy has different meanings for everyone. ( Film and music look at life | "I'll Live Better in the Next Life" Japanese drama classic lines and bridges )

Every movement of a woman's clothes may be more interesting than the movement of taking it off.

The intriguing sentence has aroused many associations in me: after the lights are turned on, when the dawn breaks, the men and women who must return to reality, what kind of thoughts are cherished, usually we don't know, but there are more than the hasty escape the night before. possibility. Is it still unfinished, or is it contentment; is it despair and suffocation, or is it regaining courage?

Impression sentence

The bloody weight of desire, the rusted anchor of remorse, trying to hinder the flow of time it should have.

It would be nice if the world had an instrument that could simply and accurately measure the level of sadness.

One day, you suddenly become one of the men without women. On that day, no one gave you the slightest warning or hint, no hunch or worm, no knock on the door or dry cough, and suddenly came to visit you.

It is very simple to be a man without women. Love a woman deeply, and as long as she goes somewhere she doesn't know, it's fine.

Even if you meet a new woman later, even if she is a beautiful woman (no, the more beautiful woman), you have already started to think about losing her from that moment.
