A review by stardustrain
First Person Singular by Haruki Murakami
slow-paced
1.5
An insipid collection of meandering, droll and pointless stories. As someone who’s read Murakami since 2008, this has to be his most tedious work to get through, despite it being one of the shortest.
A rolodeck of uninspiring characters, boring narration, and overt misogyny that only Murakami is capable of - something that his previous work compensated for by being bizarre and intriguing, but which this series brings to the forefront with its sheer emptiness.
