Lion dance outside Asiana in Hove.

Lion dance outside Asiana in Hove.

Chinese New Year, Hove. The rain stopped just a few minutes before the lion dance, surely a good omen for the year ahead?

As I write this on Saturday night, I have just finished this book, and I am pretty blown away. I now admit I should not have read this in a week. I should have read it as more of a meditation. It contains many extraordinary passages I should have lingered over much longer. But it had been highly recommended by several good friends, and I was curious, so I charged through. 

I must admit it wasn’t the book for me, though it is a nearly flawless work.

This is a book that starts out with a missing cat and goes on to plumb the darkest depths of the Japanese-Russian conflicts of WWII. It dances through the highs and lows of a marriage, and up and down the alleys of realities. I appreciated the quality of the writing, but as with the one other Murakami book I’d read (“Norwegian Wood”), I found it all to be a bit removed from feeling and passion. I am prepared to believe that is my own culture gap with the author’s style. 

“The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” has become a classic in literature. I’ll be looking at it more over this next week as I decompress from this reading.
