This is going to be one of the more bizarre things I’ve ever written, but is it just me or does this image from the Hungarian Xbox 360 manual look exactly like a young Thomas Pynchon? And what, exactly, are they trying to convey here?

Haruki Murakami After Dark
came out a couple of years ago, I seem to remember the reception being very lukewarm. That would be pushing it for me. Actually, I was quite disappointed by After Dark, even more so since I am a huge fan of Murakami. Taking place between midnight and dawn, and somewhere between reality and dream, the plot follows two sisters (one in reality, the other in the dream-world), along with a jazz musician, a prostitute, and a ex-wrestler. Murakami is obviously trying to explore the alienation that these late night denizens are experiencing but the result is just a muddle.
The BBC has a segment on the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Included is some of Nick Cave’s soundtrack work. Link.
