Don’t really want it to end. It’s magical. Melancholy. Surreal. And extremely bizarre at times. Just waiting for the wind up bird to wind its spring again.

Hemingway’s influence is apparent

Taking my time with this one. It’s long but I almost don’t want it to end. Mr wind up bird. When will you wind up that spring again?

The ruminations on the war are some of the best parts of this novel. The empty pit that’s left after experiencing such devastation and death. This one has everything I’ve loved from haruki and a bit more.

Un fucking real lmao. Haruki pulls no punches… the mystical meets the lonely.

Wow
