I’m reading the latest Haruki Murakami and his novel is much like the rest of his work – a balance of being wild and surreal and being absolutely, insanely boring.
You know, the guy up and decided one day to be a writer, without any previous experience (by now, of course, he has tons of experience) but sometimes, his work reminds me of that amateur past. Like it’s bad when I’m reading and I see sentences and passages to delete, right?
Oh no! I’m on the waitlist for that book from the library and have been looking forward to it. Hope the great stuff outweighs the draggy parts.
oh no! yeah, i didn’t love it the way i have loved his short stories. i really like iq84 even if i found it clunky in parts. i was just willing to with it. this one, sorry, beautiful book, trim size and pages, but…i might be done with this guy. let me know if it hits you differently! i also got it from the library, my favorite thing about ny.
