I absolutely love Japanese fiction and magical realism. Because of this -- for yearssss I had people recommending Haruki Murakami to me.
The first (and last) Murakami book I ever read was The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, and boy was it a disappointment. It literally took me 4 months to read because I dreaded picking it up every time.
Here were some of my biggest issues with it:
The gross objectification of women was impossible to ignore
Why the obsession with bald men and wigs???
Way too long
Half the book is spent in a well
If this is a book you love.. honestly I get it because the writing is really imaginative and descriptive. The magical realism elements were disorienting and (for me) ultimately confusing. The creativity was not enough to make up for the torture it put me through though.
Turns out I just love Japanese fiction written by women 🤭
