Thanks, been looking for a new read. I'll try this one cuz I'm a Japanophile and became a literature professor because of Murakami Haruki's novels and short stories.
@DrOinOR @bookstodon wow! I hope it clicks with you. You will definitely understand the Japanese cultural references better than I did. I had no idea what a "hostess bar" was, for instance.
(I'm also a huge fan of Murakami, like the Japanese version of Kafka and Bulgakov.)
