fair statements moloko36. in my humble opinion there's more then that to Murakami's work. i tend to think there is subtle genius in the way his characters are portrayed and/or created, w/ storylines that whisper emotions, and echo an unknown/familiar memory. his modest manner and matter a fact way draws this reader in. he is a author who may have nothing to say (to some), but who presents that nothing in such a way that it may very well be something more. this skill's at least above average?

nice job, but y didnt u finish it ? There was alittle bit more to the story and i felt that that little bit really made the short story tie together and made it great. Anyways, still for what u did do, good job.

I loved your reading of this - beautiful delivery. It is the oddest thing to know that people share these sames sorts of feelings about people...I think the genius of Murakami is that he takes these feelings that are so often discarded and writes them down - and the reader knows exactly what he's talking about...the shared experience of meeting the 100 % perfect stranger....

@moloko36 aura is everything. Aura is more important than anything else. Aura can transform a solid, unchangeable, concrete object and turn it into something else entirely, without changing any of it's physical or chemical properties.

That is a beautiful adaptation of the story, but I really wish you would have included what he would have said to her, it's my favourite part!

i think his stories are primarily meant to distort what would be widely accepted as the traditional sense of value. that is, modern authors seem to create narratives with cues that simply elicit responses that were paired with those same general cues throughout our pasts (ie, the homogeneity of values within the target audience). murakami seems to take a different approach, he makes the most mundane actions seem out of the ordinary and vice versa. thats what i like, the ambiguitys almost creepy

@o0Affinity0o Would that really affect the story so much? I think not, it's quite universal, speaker could be male/female, any race, any age and still, it works. That's what's beautiful about the simplicity of the piece.
