This was like nothing I have ever read before. I really loved it in the beginning, but thought it dragged in the middle and end. I'm still looking forward to reading more Murakami.

herakleitos’un diyalektik felsefesini guzel bir sekilde ele alan bir kitap bence. japon edebiyatini fazla okumadigim halde, kitaplar arasindaki benzerlik ve olaylari ele alma bicimindeki yakinliklar bariz. delilik akillilik catismasi, kisinin icsel farkindaligi gibi temalarin irdelenme yontemleri hosuma gitti. 3.5/5

This entire book felt like a fever dream. I was so intrigued by it. Nothing made sense and many parts made me deeply uncomfortable but it was so worth it. If someone asked me what this book was about I literally don’t know what I would say. Should probably re-read at some point
