I love Murakami, but short stories are definitely not his forte and they don't work with his style and themes very well.

Placeholder review
I will write more later but for now, this was yet another disappointing Murakami. Ears. Cooking. Classical music. The endless tribulations of modern masculinity. Women as set/sex pieces. A few admirable turns of phrase. I have no idea why I keep doing this to myself by reading his stuff. I am hardly poorly read or under under educated, so I am beginning to think the problem is Murakami.
