I kinda hate how all the female characters were defined by their relationships with the main character (at least that’s what it felt like to me). The writing was beautiful of course coming from Murakami and I felt suspended in sadness while reading the book. Really interesting ideas about the space between life and death.
Graphic: Suicide, Death, and Death of parent
Moderate: Sexual content and Rape
