3.0

So in the end maybe that’s the challenge: to look inside your own heart as perceptively and seriously as you can, and to make peace with what you find there. If we hope to truly see another person, we have to start looking within ourselves. 

Although it is not my favorite Murakami book, each story makes you reflect. These stories have nothing to do with one another except for its common denominator: loneliness (which, at this point, it’s classic Murakami). I was also happily surprised to find that the award-winning Drive my car was originally written by him.
