2008-01-02 03:36:00 I finally got a chance to get to the MOCA to see the Murakami exhibit, which will only be showing until February 11th! So if you have waited all this time, get in gear and go check it out!I ignored the clearly posted sign stating no pictures or video would be allowed, and managed to take the pics in this slideshow below with my iPhone. Inside the exhibit, Louis Vuitton built their first ever "pop-up store" where they sold special edition items with Murakami's designs and characters. Items that have been selling out like crazy, and are popping up on ebay already! By the time I made it in to make a purchase, the now infamous Murakami Neverfull bag was only available in the small size. They also still had a planner with one of the artists new characters on it. I wasnt able to get a picture of it though. However, here is a pic of my very own Murakami Neverfull!I love it SO much! I also picked up the museum's book of the exhibit.

Thoughts on:
"Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman" by Haruki Murakami 2007-02-28 14:01:05 Murakami is remarkably consistent: his writing seldom if ever slips below the readable mark. Many of the stories here rank up with his best work. "The Rise and Fall of Sharpie Cakes" is a humorous and frightening Kafka-esque tale of psychotic crows and their control of a dessert company, the sort of story that only Murakami can dream up. The story that gave the collection its name, meanwhile,

Haruki Murakami
2007-02-23 11:01:00 As I was coming out from the Underground I was wondering, what would the city look like now, After the quake. My Sputnik sweetheart was nowhere to be found and I was tired, but still determined to continue my path to find that Hard boiled Wonderland & the End of the world. I knew that this was not going to be easy, but at least I had some sort of map or so. On the map it was written that I should follow the road that was lying South of the border, west of the sun. The road was leading to the Norwegian Wood. There I was supposed to meet a man, a great writer widely known for his beautiful novels. The name of that man is Haruki Murakami and this is his website: www.harukimurakami.comDon't miss it, a wonderful experience!
After the Quake, Haruki Murakami
2007-02-20 04:06:01 “Unexpectedly powerful, a collection of stories, slender and small as a hand, about the emotional after-shocks of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe … Even if After the Quake has nothing to say about Murakami, which it certainly does, I’d gladly settle for what it says about us.” Jeff Giles, The New York Times Book Review Five straight days she spent in front of the television, staring at crumbled banks and hospitals, whole blocks of stores in flames, severed rail lines and expressways. She never said a word. Sunk deep in the cushions of the sofa, her mouth clamped shut, she wouldn’t answer when Komura spoke to her. She wouldn’t shake her head or nod. Komura could not be sure the sound of his voice was even getting through to her.
