@TsubasaMFG Oh, I don’t know why, but I’ve been picturing the #staircase from #1Q84, #Murakami's novel.

@mastodonmigration @AkaSci Phew... all good... unless... they didn't play Leoš Janáček's "Sinfonietta" as the intermission music, did they?

I just finished 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. There were some things I genuinely liked about this novel. I liked the main characters Aomame and Tengo and their love story. I love Aomame, and I think personal trainers make great assassins. Aomame's childhood resonated with me because she was raised in a religious organization that is very controlling and even harmful to children, but they don't check off enough boxes to earn the cult label. I also love stories about how shortcuts through liminal spaces can cross through interdimensional rifts. However, I took some real offense at how childhood sexual abuse (CSA) was talked about. I felt it could have been left out entirely, and that there was a way to tell this story without the CSA. In some ways, the portrayal of the abuse felt like the writer's thinly veiled fantasies, and that's gross.

I'm disappointed in the writer's thinly veiled fantasies. I'm not sure I like this book anymore. Why must dirty old men ruin everything?

There is a whole chapter in #1Q84 about kicking people in the balls, and I love this novel even more now.

#bookstodon #internetarchive I'm currently reading #1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. After reading the first few chapters, I decided to give Sinfonietta by Leos Janacek a listen. I found a copy at https://archive.org/details/lp_bartok-concerto-for-orchestrajanacek-si_bela-bartok-leos-janacek-george-szell
Well, what do you know? Aomame, one of the main characters, listens to the exact same album later in the book.
