A deeply personal work of fiction, Murakami ventures this time into the more conventional territory of a college campus and its love-starved young students, but somehow still manages to find the mystical and otherworldly in this ordinary setting. There is depth and meaning just in being young and lost and, without making a production of it, Murakami knows how to convey all of it. Another masterpiece from a master writer.
