Murakami's 3rd story about jazz musician Bird and the protagonist's passion for the totally made-up album they created in their head was so good I really liked it
3.5/5 a
4th - 2.5/5 it was ok nothing crazy
5th - 3/5 one of those iconic depictions of murakami's psychedelic world & character-building

Maybe it's the poor translation that adds to my confusion while reading this, but Murakami's writing is so odd. The first story was especially weird, and whatever message I got from it still left me dumbfounded. Besides that I thought the second story was great. The toxicity of love and sex is always an interesting topic and I think it was done pretty well
