  • Haruki Murakami and his views of women

    I haven't read any of his works yet, I tried but couldn't get into. But I often heard that his descriptions of women are very sexualised and one-dimensional. Do you think it is true ? Does it get better or worse with time ? Which are his books where it is less or not the case ?

    I am rereading it more closely and I had forgotten how much I love it. It has such a sinister, eerie vibe especially at the start and there were so many details I had missed on my first read many years ago that its a treat to relive that experience

    Another story from North Korea told from a different perspective. It's sad how when there's mention of them crossing the river going to China, it reminds of all the other biographies I've read of how they escape.

    I was really surprised to enjoy this so much. Most of the most popular romantasy books have fallen a tad flat for me, but this one I get the hype. After learning that a good portion of Perry's other books are romantic suspense, there's no wonder why this ended up a win for me. Will definitely continue.
