I don`t doubt that this fellow`s books may be addictive, but I do doubt the value of getting hooked on stories that are all, apparently, based on a false ontology of the world being clearly divided into "walls" and "eggs." As talkback #1 points out, even tank-drivers have their fragility, and to deny their humanity by summarily labeling them "walls," and considering them to be part of some chimerical menace called "the system," is to paint a thin veneer of chivalry over a rotten base of moral recklessness.
What`s been going on in Sderot over the last several years? Have Gazans, driven to desperation by the evil system-monster, been left with no option but to toss their eggs against the walls that surround them? Is it evil for people on the receiving end to retreat unto bomb-shelters (aka "walls") against which these eggs can`t help but break?
Mr. Murakami, walls don`t break eggs unless there is someone throwing those eggs. |
