Lila Murakami Brothel ❤️

About Osaka

Now, lemme tell ya, I ain’t judgin’—well, maybe a lil’. I seen some thangs, chile! Brothels been ‘round forever, like back in Pompeii—they found one preserved, beds and all! Stone beds, can you imagine? Talk ‘bout a hard time, halleluyer! I’d be mad as a wet hen sleepin’ on that! But them folks paid good money—same as now, I reckon. Got me wonderin’, who runnin’ these joints? Some slick-talkin’ pimp or a madam with a wig higher than my Sunday hat?

Escape from Brothel

It can be said that sex in Kafka on the Shore is not something that is celebrated by the main character as many adolescent characters in young adult literature.

As I walk home, I pass by the Murakami River. It’s beautiful at sunset, all orange and pink. I stop for a sec, take a deep breath, and think, “Man, this city is wild.” I love it, though. The chaos, the people, the unexpected moments. It’s all part of the ride.
