What the hell, Alfred Birnbaum?
Having read the bulk of Murakami's novels (in college and after college) I am probably in the right position to say that no, he doesn't deserve the most prestigious literary prize yet. His lightweight writing has never been an issue, but there is just a whole lot of writers around that are so much better than him, if one just cares to seek them. And as with non-English authors, I wonder, whose fault are those dry and dreary turns of phrase?

I finished six books in February. That's not a bad record, and I want to keep it that way in the coming months, but damn I need a fucking job.
