壁と卵 - 池田信夫 blog村上春樹のエルサレム賞受賞スピーチの一部が、現地紙に出ている。当然「曖昧だ」とか「混乱する」とか否定的に論評しているが、抄録としてはもっとも長いので、スピーチの部分をそのまま引用しておこう：So I have come to Jerusalem. I have a come as a novelist, that is - a spinner of lies. Novelists aren't the only ones who tell lies - politicians do (sorry, Mr. President) - and diplomats, too. But something distinguishes the novelists from the others. We aren't prosecuted for our lies: we are praised.
