After Dark78 reviews
Haruki Murakami

Tusquets, 2008

Mesmerizing

+ Superb.
+ Intriguing, but with too many loose ends.

I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones.
