So this is the first Murakami book I've read and it's... weird? Like, the first half or so was a good kind of weird. It was interesting and new and different. And then it started drifting off into a not-so-good-kind-of-weird. I guess Kafka's Oedipus-like prophecy was too much for me. Just like that cat-scene. That was definitely...

Mura is crazy, having the weirdest ideas while being able to convert it into written language

von Haruki Murakami - and one for me too!

Ein etwas gewagtes Buch, da Themen wie Geschlechtsverkehr mit der Mutter und ähnliche Freudsche Konflikte behandelt werden. Teilsweise sind sehr gute, originelle Geschichten neben dem Hauptplot integriert, die auch weniger realitätsfern, sondern historisch interessant eingebettet sind.
Philosophisch anspruchsvoll.
