| It's really easy to parody Murakami, and when you haven't read him in a while sometimes all you can remember is the parody. but once a guy starts telling me about his records/food/ladies/visions/college experience I'm all the way back in. ...more | |
"Wodehouse really hams it up here playing up the differences between the alternately rustic or vulgar Americans and his polished egalitarian hero. "
