poach and i went to the newly-reopened the picturehouse to see tony takitani, which i've been wanting to see since murakami's comments on the story and movie during a talk he gave at harvard last november.

incidentally there is a new murakami novel due out in english translation next year, but i'm sure kino would have the chinese edition already now. and yesterday in borders i saw a new collection of his short stories out. salon reviews blind willow, sleeping woman.
