Narration During Books Hear the Wind Sing (The Rat #1)
風の歌を聴け = Kaze no uta o kike = Hear the Wind Sing (The Rat, #1), Haruki MurakamiHear the Wind Sing is the first novel by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. It first appeared in the June 1979 issue of Gunzo (one of the most influential literary magazines in Japan), and in book form the next month. The novel was adapted by Japanese director Kazuki Ōmori in a 1981 film distributed by Art Theatre Guild. An English translation by Alfred Birnbaum appeared in 1987.
Feeling writing as a terribly painful task, the narrator re-tells the story of his 1970 summer. He was a student of a university in Tokyo then, and returned to his seaside hometown for summer vacation. That spring a girl he dated at the university committed suicide. During the summer vacation, he frequented J's bar with his friend "Rat" and spent much time drinking beer obsessively. One day, he came across a girl lying on the floor in the washroom of the bar and carried her home. The girl had no left little finger. Later, he ran into the girl by chance in the record shop where she worked. After that, she started calling him and they hung out a few times. Meanwhile, Rat was clearly troubled about some woman but he did not disclose the details. One day, the girl without a little finger met the narrator at a restaurant near the harbor. They took a walk in the dusk along the warehouse street. She told him, "When I sit there alone, I could hear a lot of people coming talk to me ..." That night, at her apartment, she revealed she just had an abortion. When he came back in the winter, the girl had left the record shop and her apartment. He is married now living in Tokyo. Rat is still writing novels and sends his novel manuscript to the narrator every Christmas.

این داستان در روز هشتم ماه آگوست سال 1970 میلادی آغاز، و هجده روز به طول میانجامد. به این معنی که در روز بیست و ششم ماه آگوست همان سال پایان مییابد. نقل از متن آغاز داستان: «موش صحرایی (رت) داستانش را روی پیشخوان گذاشته، همچنانکه سر من داد میزد: افسرده نگاهم میکرد. یا شاید داشت به دستگاه قهوه ساب در پشت سرم داد میزد. موش صحرایی و من در بار(کافه) کنار هم نشسته بودیم، و هیچ دلیلی نداشت آنطور سر من داد بزند. اما به هر دلیل وقتی داد زدنش را تمام کرد؛ آبجوی به نظر دلچسبش را که مینوشید، خرسند بود. طبیعتا هیچکس در دور و برمان توجهی به داد زدن او نمیکرد. بار کوچک از مشتری پر بود. و هر کدامشان به همان صورت به همدیگر داد میزدند...»؛ پایان نقل. ا. شربیانی

When I read 1Q84 I was spell bound by the details to which he took me into his so-called 2 moon world.Yesterday I read Hear the Wind Sing (its a pretty small book and mostly short dialogues between the characters)Its his first book and you can tell, but at the same time after finishing it I felt it was actually pretty deep (Maybe it is because he is Murakami) or maybe because it actually is that good.Very much like Catcher in the Rye with a hint of Fight Club.Its the kind of book which wouldFor Murakami fans, this book has all of the familiar building blocks (Western music, Western literature, beer, mildy neurotic female character, etc.) of his story telling. It's a shame that he doesn't like the book so much that he doesn't want it reprinted in English. For a first book, it is really good.
I gave a star each for: -the Murakami-ness and how which ever book of his you read it feels like coming home-the tragic backstories of the characters that were merely hinted at -the beautiful writingI took of a star for: -the open ending and the pointlessness you feel towards the end-being a bit forgettable I'm counting this for the Around the World in 80 Books challenge as a book set in Japan.

Hear the Wind Sing is the first book by Murakami. It was okay, only okay.
I've been on a roll with Murakami for quite a while now. I guess this recent streak could be called a sort of study of one of my favorite authors. Knowing enough about him now, I wanted to see how it all started, even if it did mean paying too much for this short, tiny book (literally the smallest book I've ever read - it fits in my shirt pocket).Many of the better known Murakami elements are there: the abstractly beautiful feelings that arise from meeting a new girl, beer, bittersweet waves of
You could almost call Hear the Wind Sing a short story or a novella it is that short. It is the debut novel of Haruki Murakami.It is set in Japan in the 1970s and revolves around the life of a protagonist whose name we never find out. He is a university student on a break and the novel is predominantly about his character and his thoughts during this period of time. Much of the novel sees him and his friend, "Rat", drinking and chatting at Js Bar. Rat is a writer and is my favourite character of
When the time comes, everybodys got to end up where they belong. Only me, I didnt have a place to call my own. Its like musical chairs.A little rough around the edges, and heavily influenced by Kerouac(i.e. On the Road), Hear the Wind Sing is Murakami's first ever novel. The novel tells the story from the perspective of an unnamed narrator as he writes down the events of the summer vacation of 1970 that he spent at his hometown on the seaside. The story introduces some of the most notable
