In fact, all of ATQ’s stories are suffused with Junpei’s desire: a hunger for fiction that can offer alternatives to the cycle of violence and revenge, within which characters remain trapped.

'Then what do we exist for?”In April 2012, a unit within Cera took over responsibility for the rebuild of the central city, making its own version of the council’s draft recovery plan – what became known as “the blueprint”. Murakami Haruki (Japanese: 村上 Murakami is constantly reminding his characters that recuperation, personal or national, is a process rather than a product, even when that process is surreal. In “all god’s children can dance,” a troubled man, Yoshiya, is convinced he is the son of God, but he decides to search for his human father anyway. This is new territory for Murakami, and Yoshiya is a challenging character—arrogant, delusional, lost. While Yoshiya torments himself with a forbidden desire and an uncertain faith, his mother delivers provisions to victims of the quake in Kobe. He begins to think of himself as analogous to the city. Like Kobe, he is crumpled and punished, but uncertain about why. The story ends in an extended scene of Yoshiya dancing, moving along with “the rhythm of the earth.” The abandon with which Yoshida dances stands in an eerie counterpoint to the temporarily stable “ground beneath his feet,” still laden with the potential for destruction and ruin. Five years later, Haruki Murakami, already a major figure in world literature, would attempt to come to grips with a year of surreal violence.
