She intentionally ostracizes herself from the rest of her classmates, often sitting alone even when there is room to sit with everyone else, ignoring people when they talk to her and quitting every club and sports team at school after joining only for a day.Īs time marches on a boy who sits in front of her called by his nickname Kyon somehow manages to get Haruhi to open up. Most of the class chuckles at what they think was supposed to be a poor attempt at a joke, but everyone soon finds out that Haruhi doesn't kid around. The first day of school she stands up and introduces herself to everyone by telling everyone her name, previous junior high, and the fact that she isn't interested in normal humans and she only wants to meet time travelers, aliens, or espers (people with psychic abilities). Too bad she appears to be a total nut case. With her athleticism, great grades and strikingly good looks, she could be the "it" girl of her high school. Haruhi on the outside seems to be the model student. Those out there reading this right now that has experience dealing with 14 year olds know how frightening of a concept this could be. So the premise is that Haruhi Suzumiya is a first-year high school student and she somehow has the power to change the universe at will to suit her whims. The plotline of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the most preposterous and yet strangely absorbing I have heard in some time. yeah I know, but give me a moment to explain here. But instead of wearing Versace and super cool sunglasses our heroine will do it by spreading excitement all over the world and tying her hair with a really cute yellow ribbon. Well in this case she would really have to be a more than ordinary high school girl if she really had the power to destroy the universe. Imagine a world where a seemingly ordinary high school girl has contained within her ADD self, the power to change or even destroy the known universe. Not since Keanu taught the world that there was no spoon and the architect spouted his difficult to understand drivel that there has been a story so fantastical that it somehow actually makes sense.

The melancholy of all things done series#
There don’t seem to be any clues about Malory, but Carver or some unknown assailant is still chasing him through a series of random cities. In another, there doesn’t seem to be much of a city, but whatever there is is surrounded by a network of wide freeways on which all the motorists are speeding furiously. In one, there are no people and he is able to get a suit and a car without paying for them. Walker goes through a series of tatty cities in this strange nondescript landscape.
Then there was a closed bridge that was actually vibrating like a plate of Jello in the wind. He was so shocked that he stood at a street corner, listening. Yet all around were the sounds of leaves rustling and the beating of wings, the cooing of departed birds. There were no trees or pigeons or gardens.
There was something strange about the city but he was unable to work out what. Then even stranger things begin to happen: So while he is chasing Mallory, he is being chased by Carver. When he refuses, Carver threatens to kill him. First of all, he meets a man named Carver who wants badly to compare notes with him about Malory. But it is not long before strange things begin to happen. Although he does it ostensibly for money, it is really she who is the goal of his endeavors. Walker finds Rachel seductive, but she does not allow herself to be seduced, which only spurs Walker on. A man named Walker (no first name given) winds up at a party with his brother and meets an alluring woman known as Rachel Malory and asks him to track down er ex-husband in order to get some papers signed. We are in a non-specific country in an area known as The Bay. Geoff Dyer’s novel The Search (1993) started out as a genre mystery/detection novel, but has transformed into a Giorgio di Chirico painting. I usually do not write about a book until I have finished reading it, but I decided that I had to post this while the ideas were still fresh in my mind. Giorgio di Chirco’s “Gare Montparnasse: The Melancholy of Departure”
