Hmm the whole book is floating on feelings, completely ungrounded, surrealist emotions. I can't bring myself to find the metaphor and I think that's fine.

I love how completely bizarre Murakami’s novels are, and this one is the most bizarre I’ve read yet. At times disturbing and often amusingly weird, feels like being in a strange dream.
