Groundbreaking Haruki Marukami Novel Doesn't Mention Breasts Once
"I’ve written several novels where I describe breasts in uncomfortable, often anatomically impossible detail. Why not try something new?"
Popular author Haruki Murakami’s latest novel broke new ground by not including a single mention of breasts or female anatomy in the entirety of its text.
“I wanted to challenge myself and try something new,” Murakami said. “After all, I’ve written several novels where I describe breasts in uncomfortable, often anatomically impossible detail. Sometimes this description even borders on illegal, such as the teenage girl character in Killing Commendatore. So I thought, why not try my hand at not mentioning them at all? It was a struggle, and many days I wasn’t sure if I could make it. But in the end, I was successful. It just goes to show that you can do anything you set your mind to.”
At press time, Murakami collapsed from weakness and was rushed to the hospital. He quickly recovered after starting a new novel where he mentions breasts on every page.
