I’m always down for commentary by way of Lolita, but Kafka on the Shore is decidedly not that – Sakura and Miss Saeki are treated wholly sympathetically with no indication of any lasting discomfort on Kafka’s part. The former by an ‘innocent’ handjob, and the latter by regular intercourse in the office. Sakura and Miss Saeki, our only significant adult female characters, sexually prey on Kafka Tamura. Some of the nuances Sen got from the novel, that they feel are a “thing” in most of Murakami’s novel is the fetishisation of the uncomfortable (Trigger warnings ahead for sexual abuse, transphobia and homophobia/queerphobia): I had started reading Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage and though I was skimming, let’s just say the novel, though not inherently bad, would be heavily critiqued by some people in the era of #MeToo and at times rightfully so considering how the novel transpires with some of its core. There are certain tropes or things Murakami followed that many modern day readers may not inherently agree with. They critique Murakami a lot and have fairly read a lot of his books thus their critiques are not unfounded nor are they lacking in reason. My friend Garden had written a very insightful review on Kafka on the Shore by Murakami. Trailing The Astral Plane - this is a new blog I opened on a platform called… I think many of the bloggers in this platform are MASHALLAH highly creative. The feeds are always in your user-page and many of the Tumblr users update great photos and quotes that you can easily see in your dashboard. Stone Of A Fortress| The Pandora Matchbox – my other blog which I mostly use to write and rant Ether Axis - this is my Tumblr blog and I must Tumblr is a very good blogging engine if you want to reblog great photos and keep track of the people in the community you favourite/subscribe.
This blog of mine has me talking as another person – a popular character who you might even like. Dose – Personas are nice to have if one can keep them fictionally stimulating. I like delving into the animes I watch and give my own critique to what is sheer tragedy or a masterpiece of the masterpieces. Call it a habitual progression into different articles and/or the interest to experiment with platforms ^_^: Aevumus – Anime dissection is the theme for this blog.
