In the maze of libraries, with Haruki Murakami
After such extraordinary successes as Kafka on the shore or 1Q84 (in three volumes), a new novel by Haruki Murakami inevitably creates expectations. You need to have time in front of you to settle into the languid rhythm of The City of uncertain walls, a taste for novels young adultsa fondness for unicorns with golden fur. If all of this comes together, the charm, yes, can work. If only because it talks about strange libraries. One is in a city where old dreams are collected, the other in a mountain town in central Japan. Between the two, as always with Murakami, time, reality and fiction twist together like curls of smoke.
