a short story by the controversial Haruki Murakami. A nicely written story as usual. The absurd part with some supernatural element was added as a story within a normal story. I always look for any clues of misogyny in Murakami's writings but couldn't find one in this one. so, I liked it but because it didn't stimulate much thinking in me, I am giving it 3 stars.

One of the better short stories by Haruki Murakami. There wasn’t much of his cringe worthy writing about women. Overall, a good, enjoyable read. I really liked how the story ended. It was kind of poetic.
