Likened to the works of Faulkner and Dickens when it was first published 20 years ago, this extraordinarily accomplished debut novel is a brilliantly plotted story of forbidden love and piercing political drama, centered on the tragic decline of an Indian family in the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family.

A Slow Burn
Revisado: 01-14-23
This one snuck up on me- my initial confusion led to a deliciously woven narrative that seldom failed to keep me in a state of trance. Well deserving of the Booker Prize,

Born in 1951 in an affluent Tokyo suburb, Hajime - beginning in Japanese - has arrived at middle age wanting for almost nothing. The postwar years have brought him a fine marriage, two daughters, and an enviable career as the proprietor of two jazz clubs. Yet a nagging sense of inauthenticity about his success threatens Hajime's happiness. And a boyhood memory of a wise, lonely girl named Shimamoto clouds his heart.

One of the weaker Murakami novels
Revisado: 07-28-22
I’ve read about 90% of murakami’s works including his non-fiction and short stories. This work doesn’t go anywhere fast and as much as Murakami uses mood to create story- it doesn’t work when it’s 85% aesthetic and 15% plot movement.
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.
