An interesting premise so far. Murakami continues his habit of intimately describing the physicality of teenage women, which I have to say I'm not a fan of. I get how it fits into the narrative, but come on, the main character is a full adult.

It's growing on me, despite my previous concerns (which have remained present, for the record). Murakami captures that ennui for a past that could have been in a visceral way, and the nature of the city, the way it exists in this detached way from the world while in it, does well in properly framing that listless desire.
