Julie Myerson on Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart: Though Murakami seems to invite us to join him in a straightforward mystery adventure, he in fact does something much more upsetting. He frees us from his narrative in much the same way that his characters finally shake loose of one another - he sends us spinning, orbiting wildly. In doing so, he surely accomplishes the best, most unnerving job of fiction: to force you to look hard at the parts of yourself you never even suspected were there. ♥♥♥
Murakami is the boooooomb. He has the power to make me think and be confused. After a third book, I'm a super duper fan! :)
