Convenience Store Woman Uh, you don’t exactly feel indifferent when you finish the novella Convenience Store Woman… you’re not even sure how to position yourself toward the main character. Do you like her, is she endearing, problematic, do you pity her or try to understand her… but that’s precisely the point of this book, and…
The Briefcase When you finish reading The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami, you’ll be left with mixed feelings. And not in the sense of whether the book is well written or not—stylistically, it absolutely is. The confusion is more emotional: you won’t be sure whether you’re supposed to feel happy, sad, nostalgic, lonely, or something entirely…
The Last Samurai “I dreamed… I was leading a small army of great warriors. And my soldiers entered a great battle. One of the opponents was a tiger, surrounded on all sides by my great warriors. However, the wounded beast showed the heart of a true samurai, so strong that not one of my warriors…

You finish watching the fourteenth episode of the series “Firefly” with the comment, “That was a nice episode, let’s see what awaits me next… strange… there’s no fifteenth episode, what’s going on here… Ah, I get it, this is the end of the first season, kind of lame, it wasn’t that intense an episode…
When I finished reading the novella “The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick,” I wasn’t sure how to approach this work by Peter Handke. Did I like this book or not? Should I have perhaps started with one of his more recent works, instead of one of his earliest (as far as I can…
This is a series about the present. About our reality. It’s about how mega-corporations and states feed us information through various media, the kind we want to hear.
