A Wild Sheep Chase

Seeking support for a more or less uninteresting (because non-controversial) theory (and also for, I hope, for a more interesting one that I'm not quite ready to reveal because it may be half-baked) I set out to move through Murakami's work chronologically. Though I've been far from religious in adhering to publication dates, I am more convinced than ever, having finished A Wild Sheep Chase, that Murakami definitely gets better as he goes. This, the third book in the Rat trilogy, seems to me a so much more ambitious, so much more accomplished book than it's predecessors that one could almost doubt the three books are by the same person. I look forward to reading and rereading more.
