japanese weekend





this is what medusa has been up to this weekend, having forgotten status as a full time ph d student, has been indulging in a little bit of cultural exploration of the Japanese.
and the result: AWESOME.
"bubble fiction: boom or bust" has the most handsome hero ever, hiroshi obe, i bow to thee.
"always- sunset on 3rd street" is as if lifted from the comic books it is based on, frame by frame.
and murakami, medusa wonders why didn't she discover him earlier. his books are not just delightful, they are also filled with the characters medusa admires the most, precise, efficient, clean people, who have an interestingly bizarre life nevertheless.
therefore, these four are, must reads and must watchs.

  1. So glad you're still alive.

    I changed the title of my blog, partly in reaction to the things that have been happening to me (about which you would know, if you'd read the blog for the last few months): currently I'm off work, long-term ill, and am blind in one eye.

    I don't think I'll ever play cricket again.
