If she herself were a prostitute looking for wealthy businessmen, she would probably try her best not to look like a prostitute so as to avoid either making potential clients nervous or having herself ejected from the bar. One way to accomplish that might be to wear a Junko Shimada business suit and white blouse, keep her makeup to a minimum, carry a big, practical shoulder bag, and have a book on the South Manchurian Railway open in front of her. Come to think of it, what she was doing now was not substantially different from a prostitute on the prowl.
p.54 of 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

  4. Awesome! I've been wanting to finish this book. I started on it but it was due back at my library before I could finish. I'm thinking of just buying it so I won't have that problem again, lol.

    1. It's super long! and a little overwhelming. I read non-stop yesterday evening for a total of 120+ pages. I barely put a dent in it!

      But its really good. I'm also borrowing this one from the library haha.

      Thanks for visiting!

  6. This book is on my TBR list. I'm intrigued to know what she is doing, if she isn't a prostitute and not looking for a businessman. :P

    Thank you for coming by my blog!

    1. When you read this and find out what she's looking for in particular, you'll probably laugh or be weirded out. Maybe both.

      Thanks for the visit!

  7. Hi! Sorry about the delay in replying. I was down with a nasty flu.

    Ah Murakami! Reading him is some experience! His books are complex and yet so fulfilling.
