I agree. Murakami is an incredible writer, but unfortunately I found some of his descriptions marred with the same "she breasted boobily down the stairs" affliction of other male writers. It's self-consciousness, or self-indulgence, or some kind of Pygmalion-like thing.

Good article on the subject:

All cleavage and clunkiness

Glad its not just me, Murakami spoiled by bad sex and breast fetish weirdity
