I’ve been intentionally avoiding reviews of Murakami Haruki’s new book until I had a chance to read it and put down my own thoughts on it. I didn’t want to be influenced by anybody else’s opinion – didn’t want to be arguing against anybody in my head while I read it. (And I usually don’t bother to point this out, but I will here: this essay will contain spoilers.)
Tazaki Tsukuru is a 36-year-old train-station construction engineer in Tokyo in the present day. He’s from Nagoya. Single, living in the same condo he’s been living in since he came to Tokyo for college. All but friendless. Lives a quiet, industrious life colored by a little classical music (the theme for this book is Liszt’s “Le Mal du Pays,” from the series Years of Pilgrimage), a little Cutty Sark, and a lot of introspection.
