Almost Transparent Blue
Ryu Murakami 1982

20+ years old and still has a strong impact
A great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Especially the end which I didn' t
see as entirely fatalistic. I felt the character("Ryu"), in spite of his
situation, seem to regain his motivation and sense of purpose when he is able to
return to his apartment. "...I thought, I want to become like this glass. And I
want to reflect this smooth white curving myself. I want to show other people
these splendid curves reflected in me." This book is that reflection. Don't be
put off by it' s informal writing and only slightly awkward translation. You
wont regret it when you finish it.
