by Haruki Murakami
A fascinating novel! But why? I do not know. The German translation was very often rather lame but nevertheless, I couldn’t stop to read. The story must be good considering that poor translation.
It is about expectation, frustration because you cannot match with your expectation, it is about love and its impossibility. Finally about the meaning of life and its imperfectness. Yes, and sometimes it is highly erotic. Sometimes! Read it!
