The sense of distance is my past evaluation of Haruki Murakami's works. It was not until I read Haruki Murakami's Gourmet these days that I found that I neglected too many details, and he presented readers with far more than that.

In my impression, most of the characters written by Haruki Murakami give people a sense of loneliness, which is different from loneliness. They are deliberately alienated from the world and easy to get along with, but it is not easy to talk to each other. The world written by Haruki Murakami alternates between reality and nothingness, which makes people fall into endless confusion, vague thoughts and endless exploration. Whiskey and jazz are always inseparable from his books. I don't understand either of them, or are they melancholy or elegant? I just feel far from the truth and me.

But it turns out that even if it's not fireworks, there is a full atmosphere of life between the lines. Seriously speaking, food, music, running and having a drink are not ordinary lives, but ways and choices, because the environment or personal preferences are different. Art comes from life, which is the underlying logic of writing and deepens our understanding again.

In Haruki Murakami's Gourmet, it is mentioned that Haruki Murakami's cold noodles, salmon, beef stew, fat granddaughter's sandwich, Hawaiian burger and even a slightly perfunctory cola cake can only be described so vividly. Therefore, Haruki Murakami is not only a writer, but also a gourmet.

Meet the author's fat granddaughter Che Chen You.

Introduction to Che Chen: A food columnist is committed to creating "the most interesting kitchen in the world". At the same time, she also writes for the food column of the magazine. He published Writing in the Fat Granddaughter's Kitchen, Diner's Experimental Kitchen, South American Youth and so on. Of course, Chechen Ye is a huge fan of Haruki Murakami, which is also the origin of this book.

Interestingly, I have read more than a dozen books of Haruki Murakami, and I know all his characters, such as Naoko, Green Son, Shepherd, me, twins and so on. But in this book, I found that I don't know most of the protagonists. "Fat granddaughter" is a stranger to me. But in Haruki Murakami's The Gourmet, I have already met such a person, and also let me know the author's fat granddaughter-Che Chen Yu.

It is not difficult to imagine that the author should also be a person with a beautiful face and a slightly fat figure. She loves food, is good at cooking and lives cautiously. Just like this, we can notice all kinds of delicious food from Murakami's books. This idolized girl, as a hardcore fan of Haruki Murakami, published this book of idolized experiences as a support, called Haruki Murakami, and successfully met some people in Amway, including me, a passerby fan. I am eager to reread Haruki Murakami and look for these delicious foods in the book.

Tell me about this book: one book, the lives of two authors.

Many people, like me, mistakenly thought that Haruki Murakami had a new book at first sight, but after a closer look, I found that it was a book about Haruki Murakami written by someone who liked Haruki Murakami. But this does not prevent me from loving this book. The cover attracted me almost immediately. When I got the book, I couldn't put it down and read it with relish.

This book is Murakami's life and the author's life. Starting from Murakami's works, interspersed with the author's personal attitude towards life. It is enough to know from the title that the content must be written around Haruki Murakami, so I don't need to say more about this. On the contrary, I want to talk about the author's attitude towards life. She has her own principles. She likes villages and travel, but she doesn't follow the example of poor travel. She loves food, understands food and is tolerant of other people's preferences. It also changed my mind.

When I saw that Haruki Murakami did not like Chinese food, I felt sorry for him from the bottom of my heart. I can't understand it, and there is even an idea that Haruki Murakami may not be a real gourmet. But later, I saw the author talking about other people's criticism of English food in the book and said, "Many times, it tastes bad, but it's only because it doesn't suit your own taste." It is not unreasonable to think so. Everyone has his own likes, and we should not use our likes to deny others' views on things. I can't deny that Murakami knows food only because he doesn't like what I like.

For those who like Haruki Murakami, this is a book to understand Haruki Murakami in the eyes of others; For those who like food and are willing to cook, it can also be used as a cookbook. After sharing his thoughts, the author also attached a cookbook. I wonder if it is expected to enter the door of gourmets if you follow it.
