When the narrator and his girlfriend are dining in the French restaurant in Tokyo, the dude really does a wonderful job with the menu items. ![]() He buys into this 100 percent and allows us, the readers, to buy in 100 percent, too. Too, the way Rupert Degas says the word, "sheep," and the different variations of sheep in this novel is perfect.

He doesn't try to add in a Japanese flavor, but rather takes the Japanese settings and locales and interprets the accents to how they might seem if this novel were taking place in America. His narration is a lot Frank Muller and David Lynch combined, voice quality, like. What make this book a little more special was the wonderful narration job by Rupert Degas. At least, I really, really like everything I've ever read by Haruki Murakami. narration like Frank Muller and David Lynch. ![]()
