Revolution and Pale Ale, hell yeah!

I kind of enjoyed how stupid this was and how it was very aware there was no reason for it existing... but it still shouldn't.

The stuff about translation is pretty interesting but when I read the word ‘Waterstones' in a book I mentally check out.

Really interesting read for Murakami-heads like myself as Haruki talks with Jungian psychotherapist Hayao Kawai.

Topics cover Japan and the Japanese psyche, the West, and storytelling. I wish I had read this after finishing The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle as the conversation took place shortly after its release in Japan and a lot of the topics discussed relate to the book in some way.

Unfortunately, I think I've now read everything by Murakami published in English. Hurry up with a new one!

I am unable to give a fair review because Eric Cantona is the greatest man who ever lived.
