"Nach dem Beben" war für mich mein erstes Buch von Murakami. Ich bin begeistert von diesem Schriftsteller und werde von ihm mit Sicherheit noch weitere Bücher lesen. Er besitzt das Talent auf eine ganz besondere Art zu schreiben, ohne eine Wertung der Personen oder Geschehnisse vorzunehmen. Teilweise poetisch, teilweise verstörend, lassen mich die Kurzgeschichten zurück. Auch wenn manche Geschichten fast schon grausam waren, erfolgte nie eine Wertung des Verhaltens der Protagonisten. Obwohl ich Kurzgeschichten nicht so gerne lese, war dieser Band ein echtes Lesevergnügen für mich! ( )
I loved this book before last week’s earthquake, because it illuminated a few things about my own condition at the time that I read it. But now the truth in this collection of fiction has a new depth to it; its general conclusions have become amazingly relevant and important to us this week. It offers no solutions and I don’t even think it offers much comfort, but it holds a hauntingly accurate mirror to our world now.

“Liza! What was it yesterday, then?” “It was what it was.” “That’s impossible! That’s cruel!”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky, Demons
RADIO: …garrison already decimated by the Vietcong, who lost 115 of their men… WOMAN: It’s awful, isn’t it, it’s so anonymous. MAN: What is? WOMAN: They say 115 guerillas, yet it doesn’t mean anything, because we don’t know anything about these men, who they are, whether they love a woman, or have children, if they prefer the cinema to the theatre. We know nothing. They just say…115 dead.
—Jean-Luc Godard, Pierrot le Fou
