everyone's favorite author has a weak point or odd "off" work, and for Haruki Murakami, this is my vote. not that it's terrible. I think I was originally leaning towards the 4/5 after completion, and really, anything H. Murakami is instantly devoured, but after a little reflection and seeing all the...
it is a good book, the first i read of this writing style- the style that describe life in a simple, matter of fact kind of tone. it's about the dark, late hours of a night in tokyo. it's about pepole, living their lives, searching warmth. sometimes, their paths meet. in the thin (even in the broad)...

An interesting thought experiment about one night from dusk until dawn in Tokyo. The plot revolves around Mari, a young woman who decides to spend the night awake in the city, and the people she encounters. I found the almost fantastic passages focused on Eri, Mari's sister who remains in a dreamlik...
