3.13 - The Waiting Man • What Couldn’t Be Shaken Off • No Man Is an Island

The mildly revolting Ushikawa reminded me of the detective, who turned up at the end of 1Q84, what was his name again? Oh wait…

3.12 - M’s Secret Cure

3.11 - Is This Shovel a Real Shovel? (What Happened in the Night: 2)

3.10 - So, Then, the Next Problem (May Kasahara’s Point of View: 2)

3.09 - The Zoo Attack (or, A Clumsy Massacre)

A long and, in relation to all the previous chapters, confusing chapter about not only the sad Japanese military command to kill off the large animals of a Manchurian zoo, but also the threat of an American submarine, about to attack the ship that a young Nutmeg was traveling home on. Incidental refs to Toru’s mark en the Wind-up bird. Historical awareness?

3.08 - Down in the Well

3.07 - The Mystery of the Hanging House

Nutmeg ended up buying the Miyawaki lot for Toru Okada, all under strictest secrecy

3.06 - Nutmeg and Cinnamon

3.05 - A Place You Can Figure Out If You Think About It Really, Really Hard (May Kasahara’s Point of View: 1)

Another break away from Toru Okada, this time a letter from May Kasahara who remains surprisingly open to keep confiding in Okada. Strange, arguably mad thoughts…
