I have been working my way slowly through Murakami's books, trying to savor them as long as I can. I think it will be awhile before a new one comes out since 1Q84 took so long. Anyway, I was enjoying this book, but a little confused by the plot until I read that there are two stories. One is titled
Hard-Boiled Wonderland, and the other is
The End of the World. Both are told in first person, and I didn't pick up on the subtlety that one is written in present tense, and one past. For me, it is just a pleasure to read Murakami, and I enjoyed this one of his earlier works.
