>From the current NYTBR:
"It is easier to be bewitched by Haruki Murakami's fiction
than to figure out how he accomplishes the bewitchment. His
novels -- in America, the best known is probably ''The
Wind-Up Bird Chronicle'' -- lack the usual devices of
suspense. His narrators tend to be a bit passive, and the
stakes in many of his shaggy-dog plots remain obscure. Yet
the undercurrent is nearly irresistible, and readers emerge
several hundred pages later as if from a trance, convinced
they've made contact with something significant, if not
entirely sure what that something is."
