Even If I Have No Chance of Winning: Haruki Murakami (ten Lectures by Famous Japanese Literary Masters 07)
by Yang Zhao
About This Novel
This book is the seventh volume in the series "My Long Struggle with the World: Ten Lectures on Japanese Literature by Yang Zhao", in which Yang Zhao talks about Haruki Murakami. There is a well in life, and one day we will fall into it. Falling into a well, confusion, disorder, and sadness. However, among the many people struggling in the well, Haruki Murakami created a kind of protagonist who always has a kind of strength: he has the courage to live resolutely and confidently. From Midori Kobayashi who "I can feel the so-called responsibility" in "Norwegian Wood", to Tamura who "want to be the strongest fifteen-year-old boy in the world" in "Kafka on the Shore", to Aomame and Tengo in "1Q84" who resolutely rescued themselves from nightmares... The same blood flows in their bodies. Even if they are destined to fall into a well, they will not give up the responsibility of living easily. No matter how unappealing the responsibility may seem. Haruki Murakami not only writes about our cowardice, but also the objects of courage we want to call upon.
