FIRST PERSON SINGULAR by Haruki Murakami

Murakami is the absolute master of short form narrative if you’re asking me. No surprise that I was glued to this book until I’ve finished it.

What captivated me this time was his mix of surreal and realistic elements within the same story, making it an unforgettable read.

You’ll find unique stories around themes such as nostalgia, solitude, connection, age, music and of course, erotic reflections alike many of his novels.

I couldn’t help but think this is his memoir with some fictional constituents in it, mostly due to the first person storytelling. Regardless of how you look at it, the charm and curiosity will stay the same.

Yet another Murakami novel that enchanted me fully.

“No matter how vivid memories may be, they can’t win out against the power of time.”

“A simple name can, at the right time, really jolt a person’s heart.”
