Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,152
An advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend and casually appropriates the image for an advertisement. What he doesn’t realize is that included in the scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences.

Stunning

I think my only gripe would be the southern accent Degas gives Jay considering he's Chinese but that's a really small complaint. The story is obviously incredible and Degas injects just the right amount of emotion into each character's dialogue.

Story4 out of 5 stars 980
Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka’s Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In Men Without Women, Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,866
With Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami gives us a novel every bit as ambitious and expansive as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which has been acclaimed both here and around the world for its uncommon ambition and achievement, and whose still-growing popularity suggests that it will be read and admired for decades to come.

What's better than Murakami? More Murakami

Really well done
Reviewed: 03-31-22
Aside from the very obviously non-American reading the military interview files (which was really only mildly distracting, not actually bothersome in the slightest,) the performance of this was really well done. The story itself is incredible.
