Poetic and full of beautiful sentiments.

Sadly, the female characters seem to be mostly vessels for the protagonist’s sexual / romantic self exploration.

Also: a LOT of suicide

Still can‘t decide if I like this piece or not. Normally, I instantly fall in love with Murakamis books but this time in took me a while.

Definitely some interesting charakters, especially Reiko! Be prepared for some weird and (in my opinion) unnecissary sexscenes as usual. I do really like how loneliness and isolation were portrayed while I also think that this was the part that made this read really depressing.
