![]() ![]() It’s thought-provoking in ways that most other novels I’ve read recently are not. Although the plot is slow at times, the text is stimulating and easy to fall into. Now, that small criticism aside, Wind-Up Bird is well worth-while. My favorite book of his, and the one that will most likely remain my favorite of his, is Norwegian Wood because it’s based solely in reality. The fact that this is common in most of his work is the reason why he isn’t my #1 favorite writer. The world within this novel is surreal and dreamlike and while much of the book is rooted in reality, there are distinct aspects of the supernatural or the fantastic mixed in. The book carries the tone familiar to all the books of his that I’ve read. I was reasonably impressed by it, though not as blown away as a good number of people seem to be. Arguably the most well-known book by Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle was the seventh novel of his that I’ve read. ![]()
