Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami

4.0

---

When it comes to storylines, I find it quite impossible to know where Haruki Murakami is going to go next. One minute you’re looking for a lost cat, the next you’re tumbling into a parallel universe of talking peanut butter. It is exceedingly difficult to put his books down when you do not yet know if the half-boy/half-lobster possesses the key to Suzuki Rapscallion’s footlocker.

mag·i·cal re·al·ism /ˈmajəkəl ˈrē(ə)ˌlizəm/ noun : a literary or artistic genre in which realistic narrative and naturalistic technique are combined with surreal elements of dream or fantasy.

This is my third outing with Murakami and I have absolutely no regrets.
