Murakami's Modern Fairy Tale

As long-time Murakami fan I was really excited to see this new book Under His name pop up on Amazon. It turns out That this is a reprint of one de son very first prominent stories, adapté to a look and feel of an illustrated comic book. In fact, the well-crafted and richly illustrated book publishing is a wonderful gem in icts own right. In the age Where more and more books are Consumed in the electronic format, its a wonderful sensory experience to enjoy the book as a physical artifact again. This is One of Those books That You definitely want to get in the hard copy.

After the disappointment with 1Q84 That Ive Had, I Decided to go back and reread Some early Murakami. The Strange Library contains Many of the themes and narrative Elements Murakamis from early works: the longing and loss, strange subterranean buildings, animals and mysterious strangers, and, of course, the Sheep Man. The story / book is hand allegory share modern fairy tale. Its a very dark and brooding tale That May leave you perplexed and saddened. It still: has a lot of insight into the intimate corners of our kind. Murakami --other like most stories, it est replete with plot twists and embellishment That which sccm to lead anywhere, purpose, like a true labyrinth, are Necessary for the whole to function Following icts own inner logic.

May this not be the best Murakami story, it is still an aim immensely satisfying reading experience. Especially for His die-hard fans.
