In the details we meet, within the five streets or the five lines, on the staff of a drunken jazz at dusk. In the out-of-tune notes, the incoherent, we find ourselves, in the little things we fall in love, in the insignificant things.
Rolling stairs, a crack in the subway, slippers, pajamas, a jar of pickles in the fridge, the sandwich, an old favorite book, the knife, the weapon, or childhood, the shape of your chest, the voices in the head, ho-ho, a parade, a scream, a question, lying in youth a warm anxiety.
With such materials, they craft their map to find Tenko and Aomame. But until they come together, time merges with place, the calendar with the map, the hourglass with the compass, they merge, go mad, become their true selves and explode into two pale and green paper moons. And they never end, never.
Nor does the masterful magnum opus of Haruki Murakami truly end. It simply allows the narrative to lower its gaze and hide, just as it likes to do, hiding between the great Never and the tiniest Ever, it breathes, yearns, dreams, and falls silent triumphantly, amorously, unyieldingly.
Then, it uproots again and steps into the streets, curious, bewildered, amorous, the narrative emerges onto the awkward staff of jazz and continues, and is continued. And thus we meet, and thus we fall in love again...
