From my understanding, this was written in English, translated into Japanese, and translated into English again... checks out.

I like it so far for being the 1st book Murakami wrote (and for it being the 1st in the Rat tetralogy). Still, reading Murakami's later work and then reading this gives me a bit of whiplash.

After getting half way through with A Wild Sheep Chase, I felt the need to stop reading it and read the first and second books in the tetralogy first. I was lucky to get an English copy of Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball 1973 fairly cheap!

About half way done and he finally started the sheep chase.

Anyway. I really enjoy the sense of melancholy that the mc eludes. He's also a diva. I like it 👍

murakami im sorry i hated. this is heat

loser-ish guy gets girls who have things going for them

Anyway Murakami might've redeemed himself- I could not for the life of me finish Sputnik Sweetheart (I might try to read it again now that my taste in reading has mellowed out a bit though).

Per usual, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. It's not a favorite, but it's refreshing to see Japan's ableism being called out for once.

Feeling a bit disgusted with it and just want it to be over... which is a shame because I loved the beginning and the writing style
