Is everything written by Haruki Murakami a little odd? First Wind-Up Bird, then Kafka on the Shore and now the short stories in Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. And what’s with all of the “zoo” stories?
I didn’t dislike any of the stories, though Crabs made me a little ill and I’ve suggested TW might want to skip that one, and some of them I really did like. They were all just a little odd, a little unusual, a little skewed somehow. Like all of Murakami’s books, I guess.
Did you like Kafka on the Shore? If you did, then you’ll probably like these short stories too. If you didn’t – then skip them.
