Dr. Strecher specializes in Japanese literature and culture, and has been a fan of Haruki Murakami since he started publishing in Japan. This book of literature criticism can sometimes be slow for non-lit crit readers because of all the theoretical underpinnings which are explored in order to get to the meat of Murakami's writing.

Once the book got to "real-world" examples from Murakami's work, I found it to be interesting and thought-provoking. It surprised me to know that what I had intuitively thought while reading Murakami, is what Stretcher also thinks.

I do recommend this book to anyone who reads Haruki Murakami because it does begin to explain what is going on beneath the surface. There's an entire chapter devoted to Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage.
