The scream that had never found a voice was still locked up in my body making it tremble. The fact that she lets out the scream and it doesn't escape pulls against a kind of this is a liberating rebirth. There's definitely, I'll probably talk at some point about certain Buddhist connections in this. But it pushes against that just the fact that the scream can't leave her.
David and Tamler take the first excursion into the work of Haruki Murakami and talk about his short story “Sleep.” A thirty-year-old woman, the wife of a dentist and mother of a young boy, has a terrifying dream and when she wakes up, she no longer needs to sleep. This isn’t insomnia, it’s something else – she has never felt so alive, strong, and awake. She can swim laps for an hour in the afternoon and read Anna Karenina with perfect concentration until dawn. What is this condition? Is it real? What does it tell us about her past, her sense of self, her alienation from friends, family, and her role? This is a banger of a story folks, check it out.
