murakami’s (and his translators!) a really great writer, but some of these stories left something to be desired. perhaps I wasn’t the target audience but even though I thoroughly enjoy his writing (aside from the blatant misogyny), most of the stories themselves were just.. boring. I really liked Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey & On a Stone Pillow - those were really great; I wish the other stories were like those two.
