SNL Dakota Fanning Skit (Pynchon mention)

wind up bird is my favorite--had much in the way of realism to balance with
the surreal
i thought kafka very much light weight

has murakami addressed the japanese penchant for avoiding its wartime
atrocities in WW2. wind up bird dealt w/ Manchuria and Mukden in some way

i just saw the naked emperor's army marches on documentary and it's quite
good and I recommend it highly
