jazzchannel: walkwhilereading: “My style boils down to this: First of all, I never put more meaning into a sentence than is absolutely necessary. Second, the sentences have to have rhythm. This is something I learned from music, especially jazz. In jazz, great rhythm is what makes great improvising possible. It’s all in the footwork. To maintain that rhythm, there must be no extra weight. This doesn’t mean that there should be no weight at all – just no weight that isn’t absolutely necessary. You have to cut out the fat.” -Haruki Murakami

    My take on Murakami is that the whole of his writing is almost nothing but fat. Excessive. He’s not a meat and bones...
