A review by rachelselene
After the Quake by Haruki Murakami

3.0

”’It’s true,’ he said. ‘No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself. It’s like your shadow. It follows you everywhere.’”

i almost feel like murakami’s style is more effective in short story format as opposed to novels, although i haven’t really read enough of his work to be a serious critic. my favorite story of this collection was, by far, the last one — “honey pie” was an emotional punch in all the right places. i also enjoyed “ufo in kushiro” and “thailand.”
