I feel Murakami's earlier work was more natural and didn't try too hard. Not all was great, but his best work for me is Wild Sheep Chase. After The Wind Up Bird, he is mostly repeating himself. I don't see much depth in his works, at least in terms of "depth" how I would define it. Murakami is about alot of ideas who are not always connected or go anywhere. It's fun for a while, but gets repetative.
- RBerenguel 5y agoI didn't particularly enjoy WSC, although it was… more interesting than other books from him I have read. My favourite is (by far) Hard-boiled Wonderland and The End of The World. What did you think of it, if you have read it?
- telesilla 5y ago> Hard-boiled Wonderland Reading this several times (and I will again) gives me the feeling that I am alive, in the most distinct, poetic way without too much sadness nor too much happiness. This book does something very special. I'm so glad it exists.
