When we are getting less than 50% of funding, it’s not that we managed.. The number of the people in need keep increasing and the crisis keeps deepening.”

But this mechanism is contested by Damascus and its ally Moscow, who call the system a violation of Syrian sovereignty. The final story, "Honey Pie", presents a familiar wistful Murakami-scenario: an odd threesome (two men who love one woman), a small child (to whom stories are told), and a somewhat successful writer. Quella sera, nel suo grande letto immacolato, Satsuki pianse. Riconobbe il fatto che si stava dolcemente avviando verso la morte. Riconobbe di avere una pietra bianca e dura dentro il suo corpo. Riconobbe che da qualche parte nel buio si nascondeva un serpente verde tutto ricoperto di squame. Pensò al bambino che non era mai nato. Lei se n'era liberata e l'aveva gettato in un pozzo senza fine. E aveva continuato a odiare un uomo per trent'anni. Gli aveva augurato di morire fra atroci dolori. Per quello nel fondo del cuore aveva sperato persino in un terremoto. In un certo senso, si disse, sono stata io a provocare quel terremoto. Lui ha trasformato il mio cuore e il mio corpo in una pietra. Le scimmie color cenere in quella montagna lontana l'avevano guardata in silenzio. In un certo senso vivere e morire si equivalgono, dottoressa.The only story with blatant fantasy elements in the collection. A businessman arrives home to discover a giant frog in his house who informs him that he needs help defeating a giant worm who wants to cause another earthquake. The story is absurd, funny and surprisingly emotional at the end. 4/5 stars All God’s Children Can Dance” is a weird story, which combines religion, mother-son relationship (with some forbidden stuff), strange sexuality and desperate search of father. I'm not sure what I feel about this story. Spare yet richly mysterious and emotionally prismatic, these unpredictable tales explore the subtle ways the earthquake affected those who live far from its epicenter yet who are nonetheless shaken to their very core. . . .Haunting.”– Booklist (starred review)

L'attaccamento alla vita si tramuta in una lenta attesa verso la morte, rifuggita e soprattutto non accettata. Toti copiii Domnului danseaza" infatiseaza povestea lui Yoshiya, un tanar despre care se crede ca ar fi Fiul Lui Dumnezeu. Avem parte de elementul supranatural cu care ne-a obisnuit Murakami in fiecare opera de-a sa plus de o serie de detalii sexuale cu care ne-a obisnuit literatura japoneza.The blaze at Iskenderun, on southern Turkey's Mediterranean coast, was caused by Monday's earthquakes. The English title of this collection, After the Quake, refers to the devastating earthquake that hit Japan in 1995, centered around Kobe in the Kansai region. Ce-a de-a cincea este o poveste fantasy "Broscanul salveaza Tokyo" ce infatiseaza un broscoi adevarat, vorbitor, care ii propune unui barbat sa salveze impreuna Tokyo de un cutremur iminent. Avem aici foarte multe referiri la Nietzsche, Anna Karenina, Joseph Conrad, Dostoievski. Trebuie sa recunosc ca nu sunt fana a animalutelor vorbitoare, fiind trecuta de varsta in care sa mai cred in asemenea lucruri. Despite its moderate 5.8 magnitude - significantly smaller than Friday's 6.8 magnitude earthquake - the 1960 tremor was at a relatively shallow depth. If I sound critical of Murakami, it’s because I know how great he can be. And for me, that greatness only manifested itself in one short story here. It was a story about a frog called “Super-Frog Saves Tokyo.” And what makes this story so great is how uncertain everything felt; it felt real and unreal at the same time: it felt like reality had been warped and that the narrator may or may not have lost his mind. An unreliable narrator is not quite the right label because he believes what he experiences is real, but we are left questioning his reality. It was a clever piece of writing.
