Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love by Haruki MurakamiMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Murakami at his whackiest. This sleek, stylish book is an ideal gift for the die-hard Murakami fan. Printed on silken, creamy-smooth paper with glossy photos, it has no eerie bits but gives a glimpse of the author’s life – dawdling in book stores, browsing for jazz records, delving into T-Shirt stores, lazing around and generally enjoying the fruits of his labours. This is vintage Murakami:
Especially late at night, when I’m alone and listening to music, whiskey seems the perfect accompaniment. Beer’s a little too watery, wine’s a bit too refined, a martini too pretentious, brandy too mellow. The only choice is to bring out a bottle of whiskey
Who can stay calm while reading the weird work of Murakami? Can the reader maintain his/her sanity while traveling in parallel dimensions, dwelling in wells and pits? His ear fetish, obsession with cats and female breasts are the theme running through his yarns.
