![]() ![]() ![]() I think it's surpassed Wild Sheep Chase as my favorite one of his books.ĮDIT: I'm going through all of Murakami's fiction novels, chronologically. Overall, I think it was the hardest it's been for me to get into a Murakami book, but then end's up delivering that Murakami style that's so compelling about his stuff. That whole half of the book was such a different story than the previous Murakami stuff I read before, and I think it was a really good juxtaposition with the weirdly whimsical Hard-Boiled Wonderland half, and the whole binary/duality theme through the book was compelling. ![]() In the beginning, the End of the World part really dragged for me but as it started interweaving with the main story I started to really enjoy it. I really enjoyed Hard-Boiled Wonderland and kind of wanted to see what other's thought. I've read "Norwegian Wood" and "Wild Sheep Chase" before, and consider myself a Murakami fan. ![]() Forget the end of the world, I was ready to reclaim my whole self (239). The hard-boiled narrator wants to get his stolen memories back and live. Both narrators suffer from memory alteration. I just finished "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and End of the World" by Haruki Murakami. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World raises many questions about the relationship between memory and identity. ![]()
