1.02 - Full Moon and Eclipse of the Sun • On Horses Dying in the Stables
This is the fourth attempt to read and all of a sudden I found the rhythm and the voice, very close to myself.
What was the point of my life at all if I was spending it in bed with an unknown companion?
That’s me lying wide awake next to my girlfriend in the still of night, thinking ‘who are you?’

2.01 - As Concrete as Possible • Appetite in Literature
In the first book, Toru Okada’s inner state was rather detached, observing from safe distance. Now, with Kumiko’s unannounced disappearance comes a more involved sort of confusion and anxiety. The emotions are most relatable.

Book One: The Thieving Magpie
June and July 1984
1.13 - Lieutenant Mamiya’s Long Story: Part II
Unexpected thrilling, gruesome and emotional chapter after the previously chapters having been mostly somehow detached, due to Toru Okada’s point of view.
