I'm not a big fan of Ryu Murakami. However this book was an exceptional exception. It's disturbing, it's creepy and yet it's very moving. The beauty of the world is revealed through its very ugliness.

One of the most depressing books I've ever read.. this is why I love Japanese writing. It's pinpoint detailed, harshly realistic and yet somehow dreamy in a sick way as well. Like Sartre and Camus and Irvine Welsh all combined, with that movement of prose that Japanese writers have. Delicious.

Never new Japan had a 60s drug trip era as well.  Okay read if you like exotica, and drug-fueled story lines.

Me hace pensar en I vitelloni y en Trainspotting. El personaje central en estas tres obras, es parecido: siente el hastío de la vida que lleva y todo lo ve con cierta distancia.
