South of the Border, West of the Sun is the beguiling story of a past rekindled, and one of Haruki Murakami’s most touching novels.
Hajime has arrived at middle age with a loving family and an enviable career, yet he feels incomplete. When a childhood friend, now a beautiful woman, shows up with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime’s quotidian existence begin to give way. Rich, mysterious, and quietly dazzling, in South of the Border, West of the Sun the simple arc of one man’s life becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Murakami’s remarkable genius.

I really enjoyed the book, I think that it is very dry, for a Murakami book, but the length makes up for it. The relationships and how these relationships reflect upon the protagonist are maybe the most interesting part of the book. If you've ever read Murakami before, you know many of his protagonists are typically the silent, stoic, yet self-absorbed type. This is still the case in South of the Border, but Murakami reflects on this character-type and analyses how these kind of people actually work in the world, as well as how they affect the people around them, maybe for the worse?
The narration is alright, it's very bland, but kind of plays into the monotony of the protagonist's life. It doesn't make it that easy to listen to, unfortunately.
Overall, good Murakami in its shortest form.
Interesting relationships, bland voice-acting

"South of the Border, West of the Sun" is one of the best short novels that I've read from Haruki Murakami. It's hard to explain how I feel about this book because Murakami is one of my favorite authors that I enjoy reading. This book might be better than his well known titles because it's well put together with perfect tone.
Referencing South of the Boarder from Nat King Cole is something that you expect from his author. His books are almost like poetry.

A bit disappointed

The main character is unlikeable and the ending is rushed- no real character development to speak of.
I love Murakami, he’s still my favorite author but his mechanics are unrecognizable to me here.
One of the weaker Murakami novels
