I'm glad I've read this collection. Until now, I had only read "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Murakami and it didn't work for me. So I had some reservations when this book was chosen but I really liked these short stories, best the last three.
I don't know if any one of you has such a category for yourself, but for me Murakami is a "male writer". In my mind, his male characters are much better painted and more interesting than his female characters.
