After reading “Snow Crash” and “Neuromancer” last year, it peeked my interest in Japan. They were written back in the eighties when the Japanese were supposedly taking over the whole. I moved on to a few Japanese hardboiled detective novels (including the excellent “Samurai Boogie”). But then decided to read some actual REAL Japanese authors and came across Murakami.
Wow! This is not your Kawabata “Snow County” but rather a thoroughly modern and magical book. Surreal. Captivating. Quirky. Whatever you call it it is a great read that is unlike anything you’ve read.
Check it out on Amazon
