”Landscape with Flatiron” was firstly published in September, 1999 in Japanese Shincho Magazine. This work, under the theme of ”After the Quake- Continuous Work (2),” was then collected in the continuous short stories of ”After the Quake” by Shincho Magazine composed of six pieces: ”UFO in Kushiro,” ”Landscape in Flatiron,” ”All God's Children Can Dance,” ”Thailand,” ”Super-frog Saves Tokyo,” and ”Honey Pie.”Although ”Landscape with Flatiron” is one piece of the short story collection of ”All God's Children Can Dance,” yet there has been limited number of researches conducted about the work and the majority researches examined the discourse on the continuous short story collection of ”After the Quake” as the research subject. As one of the six pieces in the short story collection, ”Landscape with Flatiron” indeed has its significance, but the six pieces all have the inevitable elements for the collection. Thus, each piece shall be analyzed individually.Text reading is adopted firstly as the research method to analyze the piece of work. The correlation between this work and Naoya Shiga's work then is examined. From this perspective, issues of creation of Haruki Murakami can be identified. |
