Murao’s wife walks out on her husband, Komura, after the Kansai Earthquake because he is “a chunk of air.” Komura is described as a man who “has nothing inside him.” He brings a box to Hokkaido to hand it to his friend’s sister. Her friend, Shimao, says at the end of the story, “That box contains the something that was inside you. You didn’t know that you carried it here and gave it to Keiko.” Komura felt as if he were on the verge of committing an act of incredible violence.
I do not understand the theme of the story. What does Murakami want to say through the story? Did he try to describe an empty man like Komura? The story did not move me, nor inspired me. There is no story development, suspense, surprising ending, or any moving ending. I don’t know why New Yorker picked up this story.
What has become of his wife? What about the woman who is supposed to be kidnapped by the U.F.O? And what about the bell? I think the bell episode is a fake because you don’t have to keep shaking the bell all the while you are doing it. If you tie the bell to your leg or arm, that will do.
