I love how Murakami displays his character as this quiet, mature teenager. A slight existentialist feel to his writing. When people goes into adulthood, they tend to hide a lot, and in Murakami’s books, a lot of people talk to the main character (who exists as a kind of listener position). It’s a truly great balance between description of the characters themselves and their surroundings. A “3D” book.
