Incidentally, I ordered Ryu Murakami’s series of his essay ” Men are Expendable” the final stage and another vols.
ついでだから、龍のすべての男は消耗品であるの最終巻に加えて、他の卷も注文した。
When I read Céline a while ago, it reminded me Ryu Murakami. One of Ryu’s essays said he has been reading Jean Genet, Le Clézio, and Céline.
しばらく前に、セリーヌを読んだ時、龍を思い出しました。今回買ったこのエッセイの一つに龍はジャンジュネ、ル クレジオ そして、セリーヌをずっと読んできた、と書いてありました。
I see.
なるほど。
I wish this vol were not the last one. I wanted to know his opinion about Coronavirus (COVID-19).
私はこの巻が最終巻じゃなければ良かったなあ、と思います。私は龍のコロナバイオレスに付いての意見を聞きたいです。
I found this quote by Ryu Murakami
to calm the current angst…
“Hey, take a good look, isn’t the world still under your feet? I’m on this ground, and on this same ground are trees and grass and ants carrying sand to their nests, little girls chasing rolling balls, and puppies running.
This ground runs under countless houses and mountains and rivers and seas, under everywhere. And I’m on it.
Don’t be scared, I’d told myself, the world is still under me.”
Ryū Murakami, Almost Transparent Blue
Wow~~~, I read “Almost Transparent Blue” I was still a student. It’s a long time ago. This novel was his first book, and the story received the Akutagawa Prize. I would read it again.
Thank you, Pamela! xxx
