Devo dire che all'inizio non lo stavo apprezzando particolarmente. Ho letto prima altri libri di murakami a cui ho dato tutti 5 stelle, tra cui 1Q84, l'assassinio del commendatore e kafka sulla spiaggia. Ma questo non mi ha trasmesso le stesse sensazioni. Ho però apprezzato molto la retorica sulla morte e sul suicidio di questo romanzo e la specularità tra i rapporti tra Watanabe/Midori-Naoko/Kizuki.
Forse un po' troppo sesso, ogni 20/30 pagine c'è qualche scena di sesso o qualche discorso sul sesso, un po' too much, negli altri libri di Murakami non era ricorrente fino a questo punto

Mediocre man has sex with every (deeply damaged) woman he encounters. 🙄

Bizarre, brilliant, tragic and unique. A fantastically written book but often times very literal. Very very very good (I didn’t realise just quite how heavy going this book is until I did the trigger warnings)
