About This Quote
-A horse blanket, Mel?I remembered what I was wearing. 'It tore in half when Hrani tried washing it. She was going to mend it. This piece was too small for a horse, but it was just right fo me' is a sentence from a short story written by Haruki Murakami.
In the story, the narrator, a middle-aged man named Koizumi, wakes up to find his wife has left him. He tries to make sense of this development by telling himself that he remembered what he was wearing when he fell asleep. However, this doesn’t make sense because Koizumi didn’t go to sleep in anything other than the blanket he’s wearing now.
The blanket is too small for a horse because Koizumi would have noticed if it had been otherwise, but it is just right for him because it keeps him warm.
