In general I find Murakami’s books a bit elusory. This one is more accessible than most. But he seems to always have an artistic minded character that is looking for meaning and/or ulterior motives where most people might see only coincidence.

Jeez! Gratuitous sex! I don’t remember anything like this from Murakami’s previous books!

I think this is the most explicit book I’ve ever read by Murakami but it’s not steamy… more mechanical. But I think that’s how I feel about sex scenes written by men in general?

Murakami’s details are almost poetic. Here is how he explains that a Japanese shrine is old and neglected without coming out and saying so:
“In front of the doors was an empty white ceramic pot. Rain water had accumulated then evaporated over and over, leaving a number of dirty stained lines inside.”
