I'm also a fan of Murakami. The Wind-Up Bird Chronichle was a tour de force (although harrowing in many parts). I once reviewed a couple of Murkami's later works for Slashdot: http://books.slashdot.org/books/02/07/09/1438256.shtml?tid=99 (Of course, that was before I discovered blogcritics.) Murakami can be especially striking if all you really know about the arts in Japan is anime. 32066@blogcritics.org Tue, 9 Dec 2003 23:35:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/08/041843.php#comment-31970 Tomas, thanks for this. I read "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle" recently and thought it was completely excellent. 31970@blogcritics.org Tue, 9 Dec 2003 11:13:28 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/08/041843.php#comment-31823 Thanks Tomas, excellent job and welcome! 31823@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Dec 2003 08:09:05 EST
