strange, dark, and beguiling. not much happens, mostly the day to day of the MC, but murakami's prose makes even that an interesting read. this was darker than the previous books i've read by him.
would have been a 5 star read if not for the pedophilic undertones between the mc and a thirteen year old girl, which made me pretty uncomfortable.
quite a bit of commentary about capitalism. as typical of murakami novels, loneliness is captured and depicted in a beautiful, sad way.
