The definition of a good story. I'm not referring to Murakami's writing style, but to the quality of the tale itself. Murakami brought back successful tropes that he mastered in past novels before this one, however, the ending seems to me so well crafted that I don't mind the repetitiveness.

Älskade! Alltså verkligen så vackert språk och miljöer och karaktärer. En sak som stör är hur imponerande ofta Murakami lyckas nämna könshår och bröst… ganska dålig beskrivning av kvinnor och representation av lgbtq+ men frånsett det var det en bra bok med en massa bisarra och reflektiva inslag som grep mig direkt.
