cried like a baby.

We were that close.

After he died,

I just didn't know

how to relate to other people.

I didn't even know

what it means

to love someone.

Naoko!

Time to confess.

What were you two doing?

Going out at that hour,

coming back nearly naked.

I can't tell you.

We did it.

But it didn't work.

What do you mean?

Watanabe was too big for me.

He didn't fit inside me.

It's been seven years since

the last time,

so I was all stuffed up.

That was the dream

Reiko had,

the night before you came.

You dreamed about me?

It wasn't you,

it was just some man.

Don't forget,

we're not normal here.

Apparently not.

Do you want to sleep

with me?

Of course.

Can you wait?

Of course, I can wait.

Before that time comes,

I want to get a little better.

Will you wait for me

until then?

Of course, I'll wait.

Is it hard?

The soles of my feet?

Silly you.

If you're asking if I have an erection,

of course, I do.

Can you please stop saying

of course?

OK, I'll stop.

Is it difficult?

What?

Being hard like that.

What?

I mean, does it hurt?

Sometimes it does...

Shall I help you get rid of it?

With your hand?

Right.

It's warm.

You're good at that.

Be a good boy and shut up.

When did you get here?

A while ago.

Why are you so spaced out?

I'm a little tired from my trip.

Hey, Watanabe.

Do you have any idea

what I want to do, right now?

No.

I can't imagine.

I want to be lying down

on a big, wide, fluffy bed.

You're lying beside me

and slowly taking my clothes off.

So tenderly.

I'm spacing out,

feeling really nice.

Suddenly I come to my senses

and yell, "Stop it, Watanabe!"

Stop it, Watanabe. I like you.

But I'm seeing someone else.

I can't do this. Please stop.

But you don't stop.

Then you show it to me.

Your thing, sticking way up.

That's what you want to do, now?

That's right.

Do all the guys

in here masturbate?

Probably.

Can you talk more quietly?

Do they do it,

thinking about girls?

I kind of doubt anybody

masturbates thinking

about the stock market

or the Suez Canal.

Have you ever thought about me?

Hey, tell me!

When you weren't at school,

you were here.

Yeah.

Whenever I saw you,

you looked tired.

I did?

Why?

Daddy, it's me, Midori.

How are you?

Daddy, I have to go

and see the nurse.

I'll be right back, OK?

- Can you stay with him?

- Of course.

Hello?

My father died.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm fine, thank you.

I just wanted to let you know.

Don't come.

I hate funerals.

I don't want to see you there.

I get it.

Will you take me to a porn film?

Of course.

A really dirty one.

I'll find a good one for you.

My father should have gone

to Uruguay.

You're right.

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami (村上 春樹, Murakami Haruki, born January 12, 1949) is a Japanese writer. His books and stories have been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. The critical acclaim for his fiction and non-fiction has led to numerous awards, in Japan and internationally, including the World Fantasy Award (2006) and the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award (2006). His oeuvre received, for example, the Franz Kafka Prize (2006) and the Jerusalem Prize (2009). Murakami's most notable works include A Wild Sheep Chase (1982), Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002), and 1Q84 (2009–10). He has also translated into Japanese English works by writers ranging from Raymond Carver to J. D. Salinger. His fiction, still criticized by Japan's literary establishment as un-Japanese, was influenced by Western writers from Chandler to Vonnegut by way of Brautigan. It is frequently surrealistic and melancholic or fatalistic, marked by a Kafkaesque rendition of the "recurrent themes of alienation and loneliness" he weaves into his narratives. Steven Poole of The Guardian praised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his works and achievements. more…
