This novel remains inscrutable. One moment, it seems positively silly—almost Douglas Adams-esque. It thumbs its nose, laughs at you. Then, without any obvious transition, you realise a good measure of that silliness was a metaphor for Japanese imperialism and colonialism.
What the hell.

I am loving this novel—much more so than Norwegian Wood. It is the first work of Murakami’s that I’ve read that feels not only Surrealist but also Dadaist. It seems to revel in its own illogic and (at times) pointlessness.
I also appreciate the absurdist humour. I was pleased to discover Murakami’s funny bone in Blind Willow, so it’s fun to get to know this side of him better.
