Murakami, Susu and Me!
Today a surprise!
Susu´s delivery from Amazon!
The new Haruki Murakami book: "Kafka on the Shore"
"(...)Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change direction, but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverised bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. (...)
And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. "

Susu...! Barbarella...! The kind of combination that lightens our night and day, like the Sun and the Moon, but rarely seen together!! When I met Susu for the first time, it was also by a literary intercourse: Saramago vs. Hanif Kureishi in Museu de Arte Antiga (na Lisboa cada vez mais ex-Alfacinha e cada vez mais multi-étnica e multi-cultural, como a Londres do "Black Album" nos anos 80). Me miss Susu and Barbarella also! A big kiss, the size of the universe, for both of you!
