Because of some recent plist stuff on The Golden Bough, my reading of some of it
and some of that book on writers who have used it, I was jotting down some thots
on The Fisher-King myth and other stuff I thought I was detecting in 1Q84 when, voila,
Murakami had his character make an overt connection.......
yes, he buries allusions but in this one he is also showing them with transparency as I offer
another example..........up comes the word inquisition in a Q & A back-and-forth full of
some surprises when, showing it all, we get the full use and mention of the famous Grand Inquisitor
scene and Brothers K.. itself.........
He spins the uses (and resulatant meanings) interestingly, fer sure----not that I know most of the meanings
yet if ever............................................
But I will say something we might call Karmic Balance.....making Karmic Adjustments has come to
the fore in Book 2.
P.S. I'm going to write a book: Everything I learned about Life I learned in Kindergarten then on the plist....
