The second volume, inspired by the autobiography of the famous Japanese writer Murakami Haruki, will be published in November this year. The What am I talking about when I talk about running? In Volakami, Murakami writes about his love of long-distance running, with notes and brief accounts showing how he prepared for the 2005 New York City Marathon, with more personal details about his life.
Released 23 November, Murakami T: Shirts I Love (in Hungarian T-shirts I love) Similar, but T-shirts that play an important role in the writer’s life, take the lead. The volume of the short stories, complemented by photographs, gives insight into Murakami’s life through the author’s favorite T-shirts.
It was no secret until now that Murakami loves T-shirts, and even Japan’s Uniqlo created a joint collection in collaboration with the writer based on his most famous books. He said the idea for his new book of short stories stems from the fact that he simply loves to write, and if he’s not working on a book at the moment, he keeps a diary as a break. He also collects records and T-shirts, where he started, so why not convey his life story through the top of it?
a Vanity Fernk In a certain interview, the Japanese artist said that he did not deliberately start collecting T-shirts, quite simply. If he sees something he likes, he buys it on a whim. He doesn’t follow the fashion icons of the modern era, he doesn’t care about fashion – although many consider him an icon – choosing based on what he likes and what he doesn’t like. He said that he also often goes to stores that sell second-hand clothes, and likes to look for them.
And for a good trip, you have good advice: do not worry and hurry in time, because then we will miss the treasures.
He said he discovered he had a lot more free time than he could start with. This, along with the fact that Murakami never stopped catching up, has contributed to the fact that his T-shirt collection has grown into hundreds of pieces over the years.
a Murakami T: Shirts I Love It will be published on November 23 in English on page 192 under the auspices of Knopf.
