The two storylines keep crossing. As is typical of Murakami’s novels, it includes occult elements. I’m looking forward to volume 2.

Despite its length, it is highly absorbing. It continually introduces intriguing ideas, while the characters’ deeply reflective thoughts seem to invite praise for the author.

The book cover arrived a little damaged, which was a bit upsetting. Kyobo always used to send books in pristine condition… Still, there’s no damage elsewhere, so I’ll just read it.

I like Murakami’s novels. I’m looking forward to this book, too.
