Book Description

From Haruki Murakami, internationally acclaimed author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood, a work of literary journalism that is as fascinating as it is necessary, as provocative as it is profound.

In March of 1995, agents of a Japanese religious cult attacked the Tokyo subway system with sarin, a gas twenty-six times as deadly as cyanide. Attempting to discover why, Murakami conducted hundreds of interviews with the people involved, from the survivors to the perpetrators to the relatives of those who died, and Underground is their story in their own voices. Concerned with the fundamental issues that led to the attack as well as these personal accounts, Underground is a document of what happened in Tokyo as well as a warning of what could happen anywhere. This is an enthralling and unique work of nonfiction that is timely and vital and as wonderfully executed as Murakami’s brilliant novels.

From Publishers Weekly

On March 20, 1995, followers of the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo unleashed lethal sarin gas into cars of the Tokyo subway system. Many died, many more were injured. This is acclaimed Japanese novelist Murakami's (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, etc.) nonfiction account of this episode. It is riveting. What he mostly does here, however, is listen to and record, in separate sections, the words of both victims, people who "just happened to be gassed on the way to work," and attackers. The victims are ordinary people bankers, businessmen, office workers, subway workers who reflect upon what happened to them, how they reacted at the time and how they have lived since. Some continue to suffer great physical disabilities, nearly all still suffer great psychic trauma. There is a Rashomon-like quality to some of the tales, as victims recount the same episodes in slightly different variations. Cumulatively, their tales fascinate, as small details weave together to create a complex narrative. The attackers are of less interest, for what they say is often similar, and most remain, or at least do not regret having been, members of Aum. As with the work of Studs Terkel, which Murakami acknowledges is a model for this present work, the author's voice, outside of a few prefatory comments, is seldom heard. He offers no grand explanation, no existential answer to what happened, and the book is better for it. This is, then, a compelling tale of how capriciously and easily tragedy can destroy the ordinary, and how we try to make sense of it all. (May 1)Forecast: Publication coincides with the release of a new novel by Murakami (Sputnik Sweetheart, Forecasts, Mar. 19), and several national magazines, including Newsweek and GQ, will be featuring this fine writer. This attention should help Murakami's growing literary reputation.

From Library Journal

The deadly Tokyo subway poison gas attack, perpetrated by members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult on March 20, 1995, was the fulfillment of every urban straphanger's nightmare. Through interviews with several dozen survivors and former members of Aum, novelist Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) presents an utterly compelling work of reportage that lays bare the soul of contemporary Japan in all its contradictions. The sarin attack exposed Tokyo authorities' total lack of preparation to cope with such fiendish urban terrorism. More interesting, however, is the variety of reactions among the survivors, a cross-section of Japanese citizens. Their individual voices remind us of the great diversity within what is too often viewed from afar as a homogeneous society. What binds most of them is their curious lack of anger at Aum. Chilling, too, is the realization that so many Aum members were intelligent, well-educated persons who tried to fill voids in their lives by following Shoko Asahara, a mad guru who promised salvation through total subordination to his will. For all public and academic libraries.                               Steven I. Levine, Univ. of Montana, Missoula

From Booklist

After living abroad for eight years, novelist Murakami returned to Japan intent on gaining a deeper understanding of his homeland, a mission that took on an unexpected urgency in the aftermath of the Tokyo poison-gas attack in March 1995. Inspired by a letter to the editor from a woman whose husband survived the subway attack but suffered terrible aftereffects, Murakami set out to interview as many survivors as he could find who were capable of overcoming the Japanese reluctance to complain or criticize. With great sensitivity, insight, and respect, Murakami coaxed a remarkable group of people into describing their harrowing experiences aboard the five morning rush-hour trains on which members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult released deadly sarin gas. Unlike a journalist, Murakami doesn't force these searing narratives into tidy equations of cause and effect, good and evil, but rather allows contradictions and ambiguity to stand, thus presenting unadorned the shocking truth of the diabolical and brutal manner in which ordinary lives were derailed or destroyed. The most haunting aspect of these accounts is the eerie passivity of the passengers both during and after the assault, a phenomena echoed in Murakami's courageous interviews with Aum members, frank conversations that reveal the depth of these individuals' spiritual longings and the horror of their betrayal at the hands of their corrupt and insane leader. Shaped by his fascination with alternative worlds and humanity's capacity for both compassion and abomination, Murakami's masterful and empathic chronicle vividly articulates the lessons that should be learned from this tragic foray into chaos.

##一九九五年三月二十日上班早高峰,以麻原彰晃為首的奧姆真理教指使多名信徒,在東京3條地鐵綫共計5個方嚮施放沙林毒氣,共造成12人死亡,3800人受傷。村上春樹用瞭1年時間采訪瞭62位受害者,以訪談錄的形式記錄成一本《地下》,將悲劇發生時地鐵裏的情形,真實地展現在瞭讀者的...

##388頁 …… 和田女士懷孕期間失去瞭丈夫,後來小明日香齣生瞭。媒體對和田女士報道瞭好多次,想必不少人都隻。見麵之前我也大概看瞭一下那些報道的雜誌和報紙。但實際見到時,還是為其同我從各種報道中自然勾勒的形象之間的羅拆一下子感到睏惑。當然,那是我隨意在腦海中勾勒...

##讀瞭很長時間,這本書的立意和觀點都很好,但因為形式是訪談的整理,所以有很多大同小異的事件在不同主角的視野裏被反復提及。尤其是采訪人員一多,跟主綫不相關的人物背景占據瞭大量的篇幅,而與主綫相關的視野又及其相似,整體內容就顯得很冗雜。 全書按照不同綫路齣發的地鐵...

##村上先生的書有兩個比較大的特點,一個是易讀,還有一個是深刻。我看過村上春樹的《世界盡頭與冷酷仙境》,《挪威的森林》以及《1q84》,深深被他的小說摺服。 [世界盡頭與冷酷仙境] [挪威的森林] [1Q84 BOOK 1] 正如這本書封底所言,這本書是村上的轉型之作,從小說到紀實文學...

我想這本書的序言寫的不好。完全沒有理由因為1Q84注意到這本書——這本書的價值比1Q84重要的多。且不談1Q84的虎頭蛇尾,本來,現實就比虛擬的小說有更重的分量。 裏麵的記錄是真實的。我記得我讀前麵的部分的時候都是含著眼淚但憤憤不平的。但是,我發現那些受害者也往往是...

##A book about lights and shadows within everybody, which is a theme constantly explored by a list of acclaimed writers (e.g., Le Guin, 史鐵生). A book about us being common, being special, being isolated, being connected. The book reminds me that Murakami is undoubtedly a superb non-fiction writer, no matter what people say.
