Concerning Summer

by Haruki Murakami

Translated by Christopher Allison

I love summer. When the afternoon summer sun beats down on me and Im wearing a pair of shorts, and Im listening to rock and roll and drinking beer, I think Im the happiest person in the whole world. Its really too bad that summer only lasts for 3 months. If it were possible, Id want it to go for about half a year.

A little while ago, I read a sci-fi novel by Ursula K. LeGuin called Boundary Planet. Its about this planet thats incredibly far away, where one year takes about 60 Earth years. Spring is 15 years, summer is 15 years, fall is fifteen years, and winter is fifteen years. This is awesome. On this planet they have a saying: “He who can see the spring twice is truly happy.”That is to say, long life is a good thing.
