Book Reviews of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World: A Novel (Vintage International)
Book Review: Fear and loathing in Tokyo
Summary: 5 Stars
It is the world in the near future, and Information is all.
The narrator of this fantastic, and unnerving, novel finds
that his mind is subject to the power and terror of
dark forces. Two stories are being told: one, the narrator's job as a "data
shuffler", moving numbers from right to left brain; the other, his unconscious
journey in to the "end of the world", where he reads the "old dreams"
of a humanity that does not know death.
Murakami has produced a wonderfully eerie myth for the next millenium. I highly recommend this novel.
