Killing Commendatore

-

BY-HARUKI MURAKAMI

It is a kind of enigma, the storyline is an interesting one and an intriguing one....


The book killing commendatore is a classic Murakami narration. It tells the story of a man who is living a simple life with his wife earning by making portraits of people and is quite content with life. But the most unexpected thing happens when his wife says something he never imagined might happen. He is drawn to a direction that is not what he thought, he might lead on. The situations were seemingly normal but something felt as if someone is writing his destiny and he is meant to follow those roads and it is unwise to get deviated from those paths. It was also surprising for him as he learned something about himself which he might have hidden deep in his being. Life seemed normal from far but it had many tangles and an unexpected element. It was overall an interesting read and as always narration by Murakami are out of this world. The author has a way of making the most absurd or something unusual so usual it feels as if it happens on a daily basis nothing abnormal like the readers might feel connected and related to that thing. Reading books by Murakami is absolutely joyful and it makes one feel wise about themselves .......

The book had so much to tell about the life of women in the harem(forbidden place), it was itself a challenging place to spend life. The rules of the harem were quite flabbergasting for me, it is the firs...

The beginning

 Eeny, mini and moo two brothers and one sister how well the names fit together. The wellness of characters does not apply to the bond between the brothers, although they seem to behave perfectly well when the sister is around to play. It was not always that the brothers had differences. When they were very new to this world, the brother seemed to perfectly enjoy each others company.

The family being poor, there was never sufficient food available. So it was a real struggle for the mother to provide the proper and correct a...
