    While reading Murakami’s “The City and its Uncertain Walls” I came across a weird symbol near the spine on page 38. Part of me knows it’s a print artifact, but another hopes it’s more: a mystery; a gateway; a sign. Yeah, that’s how deeply I read. #Writing #WritingCommunity #Reading

      @RLRVivaldi I used to be a big Murakami fan, but the reviews of this one made it seem like a sort of pastiche of other novels, especially Hard-boiled Wonderland. Is it better than that?

        @jredlund I agree about some imagery repetition, cut and paste, and also keep in mind this is a “companion” of sorts to Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Familiar? Yes. Enjoyable? Yes. YMMV
