Chapter 267: A Writer Wants to Write a 'Preface' to This Novel (First Update)
Yojiro Takita didn't know that someone was also reading a new work by Mr. Onigo.
Boston, in a villa along the Charles River.
There was a snap, and someone slapped the table.
"Okay, you're a ghost!haha......"
He is Mr. Haruki Murakami.
According to the agreement, that is, when they were in Lake Ashi in Hakone before, the two met, ran together for a while, and said something.
Higashino promised to give his new work to Mr. Murakami to see first, well, this was originally what Mr. Murakami wanted, and now he will show it.
Mail is definitely not possible, so I send it by webmail.
This email is also relatively uncomfortable.,It's not a word file.,It's scanned.,One by one, pictures.,This picture is the content of "New Participants:Hakone Ekidum"。
It's very strenuous, but it can't be helped, Mr. Onigo has been using pen and paper to write, unless it is replaced by a computer, so that it will be more convenient.
Of course, it's not Mr. Kigo who suffers.
Although it looks a little harder, it can't stop Mr. Murakami's eagerness.
Wearing glasses and making a cup of coffee, after reading it all, Mr. Murakami couldn't help but applaud.
This ghost, this Higashino strong, haha......
After reading it, Mr. Village Chief was naturally very moved, but after all, he was a literary master, and many emotional impacts were almost digested by him, at least there was no tearful situation.
However, I do think that in this book, family, friendship, and love are written excellently.
The key is some of the details of this.
There is no common pattern of previous reasoning, and there are no homicide cases at all.
But this is indeed a reasoning, Mr. Murakami is a literary master, he can't be mistaken.
And this reasoning, the most unlike reasoning, is also its biggest feature.
It's all ordinary stories, it's all ordinary people's lives, that is, there is one more thing to run, that is, these young men are going to participate in Hakone Ekiden.
The rest, it's all day-to-day.
The stories of Arima, Ichihara, and Hosokawa are indeed fascinating, but the stories of the other people are also key.
Unwilling.
Several other people can let Mr. Murakami see that they are unwilling, maybe they didn't shout out, and Kigo's writing is just describing their story, slowly revealing the truth in it, or letting the truth jump out on its own.
But among them, there is really unwillingness.
Especially, the story of Kamiru Asano.
Smoked, the name, is really good to use.
Names that can be used by both men and women, and this setting, when it appears, is equivalent to completing a very complex reasoning process.
To put it simply, Asano smoked and cauliflower smoked, how did the two fall in love?
There is no need to explain, just one word 'smoked' is enough.
It leaves a lot of room for the reader's imagination.
Both of them have the same name, and they are still classmates, so isn't it a natural thing to have a relationship?
As for how to meet and how to interact, there is no need to write at all, or rather, it is just such a 'smoked' word, and it is all written.
As a literary master, Mr. Murakami can certainly see that Higashino has borrowed a lot of things.
Among them, "Love Letter" is this 'smoked'.
Oh yes, it's 'Fujii Tree', two people with the same name and surname in the same class.
I really don't need to write anything.
In addition, there is the Ayers Rock, which is not the story of Aki.
When Mr. Murakami saw this, how could he not slap the table?
Of course, this is not anger, it is simply a kind of laughter and scolding.
Mr. Murakami remembers that there was a word in China that could describe Higashino: chicken thief.
It's really too much of a chicken thief, and this article is written as if it's stealing chickens.
Still, it's really well written, especially at the end, revealing what running is.
The core question in this one, which is also deeply hidden, has been answered.
Running is life.
In fact, this answer is fundamentally the opposite.
Mr. Murakami is absolutely sure that what he really wants to talk about is that life is like running, and the direction is that, forward.
And such an answer, such a truth.
That's the word in it.
Unwilling.
Only unwilling people can open their legs.,Only unwilling people will be like the protagonist Kyoichiro Kaga.,Can't find the direction.,I'm very scared.,When you appear as a new participant.,Keep moving forward.。
By the way, the word "newcomer" means a 'newcomer', or simply a 'rookie', which is the case in the United States.
Newcomers or rookies have the mood of cowardice.
Therefore, the new participant and Hakone Ekiden can be said to be a pair of antonyms in themselves.
Mr. Murakami couldn't help but think of Osamu Dazai's "Human Disqualification" at this time
What is the antonym for milk?
I can't help but want to laugh.
Mr. Murakami thinks that this kid Higashino Qiang is really good.
In other words, Mr. Murakami himself wanted to write a book about running, but he was already writing it, as if he came to Boston to prepare for the Boston Marathon.
However, the book that Mr. Murakami wanted to write was non-fiction, not nothing, he wanted to write about what he was thinking when he was running.
He thought it was funny.
But now, this one by Higashino Qiang, oh yes, is a new work by Mr. Onigo, and it is ahead of the curve.
Mr. Murakami had a smile on his face, and he didn't care at all.
On the contrary, I think it is very good.
Moreover, there is an impulse.
I couldn't help it, so I simply picked up the phone, and I didn't care what time it was in Japan.
"Mr. Murakami?"
"Is that Mr. Tanaka?"
"It's me. ”
"Okay, I have an idea, that is, I want to ask, when will Ghost Go-sensei's new work be published?"
"This ......"
Tanaka naturally knew the content of Mr. Onigo's new work, but he really didn't expect that Mr. Murakami would ask such a question.
What exactly does Mr. Murakami want to do?
"I haven't talked about anything specific yet, but I guess that guy Hisagi will definitely have another bidding competition, and whoever has more original manuscripts will be able to get the work of Mr. Kigo. ”
Tanaka explained the truth.
Murakami smiled and said, "No matter what, I want to write a 'preface' for this one, and that's it." ”
When Tanaka heard this, he was very surprised.
"Mr. Murakami, do you like this one so much?"
"Of course, I love running so much, how could I let go of such a work?"
Tanaka was naturally surprised, but he understood that this was definitely a good thing.
This "New Participant: Hakone Ekiden", he Tanaka has already decided, and he must grab it.
Mr. Murakami hung up the phone, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
How do you write this preface?
I thought so, but I had already put pen to paper.
......
In fact, there is still someone reading the unpublished "New Participants: Hakone Eizun".
He is Mr. Kenzaburo Oe.
After reading this in one go, Mr. Oe couldn't help but burst into tears.
Actually, when he read the middle, he couldn't help it.
Why?
Family affection, especially parental love, has a special meaning for him.
own children ...
Alas, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I shouldn't think about it, but I can't help it.
Read it all and wipe away your tears.
Kenzaburo Oe closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Really, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and each generation is stronger than the next.
At the age of 23, he won the Akutagawa Award, and he was full of spirit.
But in recent years, his momentum has weakened a lot.
This is also normal, when people are old, no matter how brilliant they were before, they will slowly fade.
In addition, Mr. Oe himself knows that people like him are not very welcome in Japan at present.
In Japan, Mr. Oe is known for being pro-China.
Regarding this incident, Mr. Oe does not regret it.
Because what happened in history, how it should be, not as some people do, this one does not admit, that one modifies.
That's a real fool!
I've thought about it a lot, so let's come back to this one.
He couldn't help but pick up the phone.
"It's Mr. Kugi. ”
"Hello Mr. Oe. ”
Mr. Oe had a relationship with Higashino Qiang before, and this time, which has not yet been published, was mailed by Mr. Hiagi.
So, call Mr. Kugi, it's as it should be.
"I'd like to write a preface to this one, how about it?"
Mr. Oe's words surprised Hiagi when he heard it.
In any case, Kenzaburo Oe is one of only two writers in Japanese history to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
It's just him and Mr. Yasunari Kawabata.
Such a character takes the initiative to write a preface to Mr. Ghosto's new work.
It's definitely an honor.
Hisagi attaches great importance to it.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Oe! I will definitely tell Mr. Kigo about this solemnly, and I will ...... then."
When Kenzaburo Oe heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't be so formal, just tell him, let Mr. Kigo continue to write with peace of mind, a person like me, can help him with a point." ”
When Hiagi heard this, he was very moved in his heart.
Such a character can win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The two chatted briefly a few more words, and then ended the call.
Kenzaburo Oe flipped this one again, and then, he couldn't help but write.
......
Higashino Qiang, who doesn't know himself at all, now has two contemporary Japanese writers to preface.
Of course, the two teachers, Murakami and Oe, have completely different starting points.
One is because of running, and the other is because of family affection.
However, this situation is absolutely glorious.
Higashino Qiang has no mind now, because he has one thing to face, and another person.
"Yui, why are you playing some kind of couple with me?"
That's right, Yui's girl is right in front of him, and he has to play this kind of couple-playing game with his own Ernie sauce.
Yui crossed her hands on her hips at this time and said with an angry look, "Oni-chan, don't you like me?"
When Higashino Qiang heard this, he immediately shook his head.
How could I not like Yui?
