First, people seem very polarized about him: They either like his writing or they don't. His masterpiece is considered
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, but I would avoid that as a first introduction to his work.
I would recommend his first short story collection, titled
The Elephant Vanishes, as it it deals with many of the themes in his later, more mature works. The stories are of varying lengths and are quite accessible.
His writing skirts some of the familiar motifs of SF, but doesn't entirely embrace it.
This is just my opinion, of course, but I won't tell you what my drill sergeant said about opinions -; but I will say this: Everyone has one!
Let me know if you enjoy him or not.
