A book brief
"1973 Pinball" tells the story of the protagonist "I" looking for a pinball machine when he was young, and returning to the story of boundless loneliness.
A book of word clouds
The word cloud in this issue is drawn according to the shape of a marble ball. Marble balls, also known as marbles, are generally made of glass. The pinball machine was a machine with entertainment and gambling components, which was very popular among teenagers and adults in Japan at that time.
(Word cloud description: The word cloud is a visual highlight of the key words in the text, and the larger the words, the more they are mentioned in the instruction manual.)

The word cloud has something to say
"Mouse", "we", "twins", "pinball machine", "Jay", "himself", "dog", "time", "room", "pinball", "beer", "dark", etc. are the words that appear more in the book, and these words roughly reflect the main content of the book.
"Pinball in 1973" and Murakami's debut novel "And Listen to the Wind" have many similarities in content: there are "I", rats, Jay and Jay's bar, and they also express the author's thinking about society and life.
In contrast, the former has a strong storytelling and opens up the "pursuit" mode of Murakami's novels. What is "I" chasing the pinball machine for? Games from youth, memories of the past, or sustenance emotions?
Murakami once said that writing is "even if the body is not free, I want to make the soul free." The pursuit of "I" is probably also for the freedom of the soul.
At the end of the article, readers, do you like the word cloud in this issue? Regarding "pursuit", what are your views and ideas, welcome to leave a message in private messages. Like our article, remember to like and follow the forwarding three times ^_^.
