I don't believe Murakami has ever had a meaningful interaction with a woman, or quite honestly even met one in person. That being said, the book has its profound moments, usually broken up by some kind of absurd sexual interaction. I'm unsure whether I'd ever read another book by this author, but surprisingly, I did not hate this one.
