Description:
Haruki Murakami's Fascinating World: A Long Essay from Princeton—A Letter of Love from America. Though I'm far too old to be called a "boy" anymore, the word still holds a strange and inexplicable appeal for me. ......(excerpt)...... If you were to ask me, "What is your concrete image of a 'boy'?", my answer would be simple and clear. Listed out: (1) wearing sneakers, (2) going to a barber shop (not a beauty salon) once a month, and (3) never making excuses. This is my image of a "boy." Simple, isn't it? ──(from the text)
