4.0
First introduction to surrealism in writing. I enjoyed the fantastical elements of this book, but some of Murakami’s ideas and writing was frankly creepy.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Incest, and Rape
Murakami seems like a great writer but a creepy guy. Multiple sex scenes between possible family members.
