A review by elijahcole
Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
I’ve read Murakami and was well aware the way he writes women is not the best, however i’ve still found myself sucked into the worlds he beautifully strings together. This book was very different. If you don’t really like how Murakami writes women, just wait until you read how he writes lesbians. And on top of that, the lesbian’s story is narrorated by none other than a man, who of course is in love with one of the women and is constantly narrorating sexual thoughts about her and wallowing in pity that he can’t be with her. as a lesbian myself i couldn’t sit through that, i don’t care if it gets better
