He struggled to publish, and returned to California in 1928, where he and his wife lived humbly while receiving financial support from Steinbeck’s parents throughout the Great Depression.

Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic. I’m feeling it, my friends and family are feeling it: the weight of this moment is immeasurable. They are all good and I cannot think of anything objectionable in them – but if you aren’t going to read all of them I think the first 2 are the best (The Saturdays and The Four Story Mistake). The Saturdays Puffin Books, 1997 - New York (N.Y.) - 175 pages 14 Reviews Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified Four New York City siblings. Spiderweb for 2 is the last one and only features the youngest 2 siblings as they olders have all gone away to school – but send them through an elaborate treasure hunt with riddle clues to help them not to miss them so much during the winter. The third one is Then there were Five – they befriend an orphaned boy and adopt him into their family. The second is the Four Story Mistake – they move out to a funny old house in the country and have various adventures there. In the first one – The Saturdays – they are living in New York City and choose to pool their allowances and each chapter is the story of whatever “adventure” they choose to do when it is their “Saturday”. The stories center around the Melendy Family – 2 brothers and 2 sisters – and the adventures they have together – set in the 1940’s (it is during the WW2 era, but they are not really stories about the war at all, other than occasional mentions of things like rationing and raising money for war bonds).

New audiences could read this as just another provocative, surreal tale, but Murakami fans will obsessively catalog the many multi-layered references to previous titles, from the obvious Sheep Man ( Trilogy of the Rat), labyrinthine other worlds ( Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World), silently communicative women ( After Dark) to, of course, librarians ( Kafka on the Shore), plus much more. Verdict: Strange Library is just 96 pages, 32 of which are designer Chip Kidd-created-and-curated illustrations – intriguing, mysterious, untranslated (hints: that’s “Meiji Milk Chocolate” in chapter 13, an upside-down labeled planet zoom-out in chapter 17). How will the boy get home to his mother (and pet starling) in time for dinner? There he’s trapped by a bald old librarian, guarded by a Sheep Man, fed by a voiceless girl, and forced to memorize “three fat books” about the Ottoman tax system for insidious purposes. After returning his library books, a boy is sent to Room 107 in search of other titles. This is a very strange, very short little book. It is a beautiful object and is meant to be handled and appreciated for the artistry of presentation.
