i feel like such a dweeb adding a short story that took me like very little time to read to here. like, if i add this then doesn't that mean i should make sure i add everything i read? 
anyways this was enjoyable despite. murakami's not being normal about women coming out yet again. motifs were a little. slapdash. like okay, glaucoma and uterine cancer. we see it. from a feminist perspective, i think the blindspot motif is a little stupid esp given the ending. nevertheless, enjoyed the writing. murakami why can you not be a normal human person?! oh well. what can you do. ugh. thus, a very mixed bag
