the german publisher of 'haruki murakami' is publishing 'eeeee eee eeee'

dumont literatur is publishing eeeee eee eeee in german

their 'haruki murakami' page is here, i think most germans will 'just assume' i'm the same person as 'haruki murakami' or else think 'what difference does it make,' in this way i will probably replace 'haruki murakami' in germany

i am now really the asian haruki murakami in germany or something, i hope my cover is this but with a hamster

i can feel my tao lin drawing increasing in price yet again. it replaces the urge to get a job. i will just sit and watch the tao lin drawing appreciate. at least until the end of summer.

i never read haruki before goodreads crammed him down my throat. since i am unexpectedly unemployed suddently i am reading a lot. i am reading after the quake right now (my murakami cherry busted)...it's okay...i think he is ripping off tao lin somewhat...i don't really believe he's asian either..he's clearly norwegian or something and only posing as japanese...you can tell by the photo if you squint yr eyes....

perhaps the german haruki murakami is translating it.
it would be 'funny' if the person who translated eeeee eee eeee shit-talked you in the translation.
or made a 'huge misunderstanding' somehow.
i think you would be 'hard to translate'.

i think you are right. you guys all look the same. white people can't tell the difference between your stoic faces and bowl haircuts.

do you mean the 'zachary german' publisher? as in 'the name of this band is the talking heads,' the new, extremely limited edition poetry magazine? google "can i tuck in a sweater"
