44 posts | 23 read | 15 to read
Eine junge Kellnerin wird zwanzig. Doch ihren Geburtstag verbringt sie nicht mit ihren Freunden; sie arbeitet. Ihr Chef, der Geschftsfhrer des Restaurants, bergibt ihr eine wichtige Aufgabe. Sie muss pnktlich um zwanzig Uhr dem Inhaber des Lokals das Abendessen in dessen Suite bringen. Noch nie haben sie oder ihre Kollegen den Besitzer gesehen. Pnktlich um zwanzig Uhr steht sie vor der Suite. Es ffnet ihr ein zierlicher lterer Mann, der sie, anders als ihr Chef es ankndigte, in die Suite und um ihre Gesellschaft bittet. Auch ist der Herr, denn er ist eindeutig ein Herr, von ausgesuchter Hflichkeit. Die junge Frau ist verunsichert und verwundert ber ihn. Trotzdem erzhlt sie ihm irgendwann, dass sie Geburtstag hat. Woraufhin ihr der Mann ein Geschenk machen will. Er lsst sie wissen, dass sie einen Wunsch uern drfe, sich diesen aber sehr genau berlegen solle, denn sie knne ihn, einmal ausgesprochen, nicht mehr zurcknehmen. Und er erffnet ihr, dass er ihren Wunsch tatschlich erfllen knne, ganz gleich, was es sei. Die Geschichte ist bereits 2006 in dem Erzhlungenband 'Blinde Weide, schlafende Frau' erschienen.

I always love short stories. This one I read on my spl day 😍 loved it. It‘s a short one which one can finish within 30-40mins, but the effect lasts longer. Beautiful narration, and it ends with an awe. I always appreciate open ended stories than happy endings & this is not an exception. 3.5 ⭐️

My first read from #DecemberTBR #bookspinbingo #crushtherush #wintergames2020 #teamreadnosedreindeer 15points.

TheAromaofBooks Awesome cover!! 4y

This is the first Murakami that I just feel flummoxed by. I feel like the end was supposed to be this big “duh duh DUH“ reveal moment, but I was only confused. Some Murakami stories have this effect on my, but in those cases I'm usually distracted enough by the gorgeous setting and atmosphere that I'm happy to be on the journey. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here.

Read for the #readingrush “read the first book you touch“ prompt.

Second book read for #AuthoraMonth in March, this one was a short novella. This story was an enjoyable read but have to say I feel I need to read it again to find out exactly what went on. It‘s quite philosophical and think it will take more than one read to pick up on all the points. One of the stories where what is not said can be more important than what is said. It all revolves around a birthday wish, but what exact,y was that wish?! 🤔🤔🤔

erzascarletbookgasm Haha.This story was in a collection of short stories I read recently. I didn‘t get what was her wish either! 5y
BookishMe @erzascarletbookgasm I think this was also included in another anthology... With Murakami, there's always a question hanging right ;p 5y
erzascarletbookgasm @BookishMe Ah yes, I read Birthday Stories too. 🙂 5y

I feel like I need time to process this and maybe read it a few more times ... definitely along the philosophical line

This is only a 35 page ebook & I've borrowed it a few times but never read it. Well tonight I did, & I'm a little confused by this story! I read it again but I'm still not clear, which is nothing new from Murakami. Even so, this story still gave me goosebumps!
Can anybody else shed some light?

Some interesting explanations here...

Debdeb You‘ve inspired me by intrigue ... just brought it 😀 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Debdeb 🙂 Cool! Its, only a quickie. I think the explanations in the link I added helps 5y
Debdeb @Curiouser_and_curiouser thank you! I‘ll read it first and then have a look ... listened to 1Q84 a couple weeks ago and wanted to read more of his stuff but they appear to be massive, am happy to find a short one 😊 5y
Debdeb @Curiouser_and_curiouser wow! That‘s gonna need some processing and probably a couple of rereads! Thank you for bringing this book to my attention xx 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Debdeb I have also recently read 1Q84. I think this book may be the longest one he's written as it consists of 3 parts. The other books are normal length from what I can remember. I'm looking forward to picking up some more of his work in the future. And you're Welcome! 😊 5y

It was a short fast read. With Murakami as always you are left to your own musings. So the best part is the very open interpretation the book gives scope to. In his own intricate delicate story telling he left me with a question. May be I was the birthday girl, wishing.

I had a wonderful birthday today. Maybe the greatest of all. I had a great time in Münster, bought some great books and received really gorgeous gifts from my family and my Litsy family @scripturient @LeahBergen and @julesG . Bookish posts will follow tomorrow, I am exhausted right now and it is already dark here, so it isn't the right time for photos.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes, I am really happy about every single wish. 🤩😍

Wow. Okay so first I didn't understand the ending but then I checked up one explanation and it grew on me like a plant. Embracing and fresh. Must read because it has an amazing point of view.

"No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all."

As is Murakami's prose, this short story is packed with rich descriptions of mundane-ness, with his signature punch of magical realism. It's fantastic how he could do it in just 30 pages.

RohitSawant Great quote! I've haven't read him yet. Would this be a good starting point? I often like approaching unread authors with their short fiction if available. 6y
Izai.Amorim Murakami rocks! 6y

Happy Birthday to the always wonderful, @TrishB , who is sharing her big day by doing a #50thBirthdayGiveaway.

One of Us is Lying sounds so much like The Breakfast Club that '80s me is dying to read it. 😆

Enjoy your celebrations and those 50 new birthday books. 😘😘😘

Avanders Well... now I want to read it too! 😉 7y
AlaMich I had that same thought: it's a Breakfast Club that turns out very differently 😊 7y

It is a simple and a short book about a young woman, her 20. Birthday and a magical wish.

And as simple as it was to read as simple is my opinion. I liked it. Short but nonetheless wonderfull.

My favourite quote:
"No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves."

Gave this one 4 ? out of 5

Auch wenn es ein kurzes Buch ist, besticht es gerade durch die Kürze und dazu die passenden Illustrationen. 😍 Unbedingt lesen. 😍 und Gucken natürlich. 😉

Even though it is a short book, it is so superb because of its shortness and its fitting illustrations. 😍 You have to read it. 😍 and you have to look at it of course. 😉

Graciouswarriorprincess Love him and his books!! 8y

I love it, when books quote other books. 😍 or in this case link other books. 😉
