This was so strange and surreal that it makes Murakami stories look normal. Almost all of the stories made me uncomfortable and they were more than bizarre. The story of the octopus man was wild. 


I did find myself wanting more of a novella length for some of the stories. I wanted to know what happened to them. But that’s the magic of a well written short story, be they weird and incomprehensible like these or not.
