Patti, thank you for sharing this special moment with Murakami. I have adored him for nearly two decades! At first blush, I was startled by the idea of Murakami "inventing" a Parker album. But then I remembered how, after David Foster Wallace's death, I was so upset at the loss of his life and talent that I began to daydream that some day, a book oh his might surface that we'd all never seen before. I guess these are the musings of truly loyal (and heartbroken) fans of genius.

I struggled with the wind-up bird chronicle until I read your M Train and you wrote»all doors are open to the believer»- that kind of opened it up for me. A couple of years later I was at a Florence and the machine concert and she was singing this beautiful song Patricia wich is about you and one of the lines went» she told me all doors are open to the believer, I believe her, I believe her»- althoug that was not about Murakamis book it made me smile☺️
