It sounds fascinating! I love the mood that Haruki creates, the way that I'm still trying to put all the pieces together long after I finish his work, so I'm sure I'd like this one, too. I wish my background knowledge in film and Japanese literature was a it greater; you draw solid connections to other works, but sadly, I don't know all of them. Thanks for expanding my understanding, though!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
