Well I did say after I read Dance Dance Dance, that I was going to read more Haruki Murakami, and this is the next one I picked up. The most recently published paperback volume, it tells the story of a couple who never become lovers but never don’t.
I suppose the book enters areas a little like Dance Dance Dance did before it, with some apparantly impossible things happening later in the book. In particular, one of the characters’ hair turning white overnight is straight out of Twin Peaks. Leland was it?
Didn’t take more than two days to read on the tube, and not everyone thinks it his best. But at least there are plenty of other books to go through. I’ve now started Norwegian Wood so we’ll see what that’s like.
