![]() I loved the zany premise: the unnamed narrator, who works for a small advertising firm, gets a threatening visit one day. Instead I read A Wild Sheep Chase, a fairly short one for Murakami at just under 300 pages. First I tried Norwegian Wood, but, ironically, it was so normal (from the little I read, a standard, nostalgic coming-of-age novel set on a college campus) that I felt disoriented and set it down after 20 pages – I’ll keep it on the shelf for some other time. ![]() For Japanese Literature Challenge 13, run by Meredith of Dolce Belezza, I decided to pick up another of his books. I was utterly entranced by my first two Haruki Murakami novels, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore both are so richly layered, dreamlike and bizarre. ![]()
