The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

I enjoyed bits of the story, but I don't feel like there's a narrative that drives me to keep reading. In particular, the part about the Lieutenant's war experience in Mongolia was harrowing, and there was a realistic and sensitive discussion on abortion with the wife.

I was also weirded out by some of the sexual stuff... the Creta Kano character is objectified, either as a rape victim or as the subject of wet dreams.
