It\u2019s the only thing that interests me about publication. So I employ all the strategies I know to capture the reader\u2019s attention, stimulate curiosity, make the page as dense as possible and as easy as possible to turn. But once I have the reader\u2019s attention I feel it is my right to pull it in whichever direction I choose. I don\u2019t think the reader should be indulged as a consumer, because he isn\u2019t one. Literature that indulges the tastes of the reader is a degraded literature. My goal is to disappoint the usual expectations and inspire new ones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/5444\/heigh-ho-haruki-murakami\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-135759 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/murakami.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/murakami.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/murakami-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/murakami-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/5444\/heigh-ho-haruki-murakami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heigh-Ho<\/a><br \/>\nBy Haruki Murakami<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 172 (Winter 2004)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nakata visited the vacant lot for several days.
