Put simply, this is a remarkable story written by a true 'story weaver'. As an avid reader, I find Haruki's brilliance in a category of its own due to his use of metaphor, symbology, philosophy, intrigue and character development. Weaving plots that at first appear somewhat normal, he incorporates elements unlike any other, along with eroticism you wouldn't expect. I found the 'concept' of the Col Sanders character fascinating and realized the importance. Themes of forgiveness, 'the now' and others make their way into the story demonstrating the author's wisdom and creativity. Having read "1Q84", "Killing Commendatore" and others, this book is yet another that shows of his unique brand of story weaving.
