![]() ![]() I liked a lot reading “A Wild Sheep Chase”. The 4 Rat-related books by Murakami Overall impression It is a mix of detective story and self-discovery plot, including a significant touch of magical realism (of course, we’re talking about Murakami here!). We have travelling elements, new and old friendships, and a limbo-feeling combined with a lot of snow. ![]() Through a series of events, the protagonist (and narrator) is assigned the task of finding the magical sheep that was spotted in a newspaper photograph. The book tells the story of an actual chase for a sheep. And I’m very glad I picked it! A Wild Sheep Chase in a nutshell ![]() The first time I heard about this book was when a very good friend of mine told me that one of her work colleagues was so into “A Wild Sheep Chase” that he even got a tattoo of a sheep! So when I spotted this vintage copy in a second hand bookstore, I knew I had to see what it was all about. Slowly but surely Murakami is becoming one of my most read authors! After reading “ 1Q84“, “ Kafka on the Shore“, and “Norwegian Wood”, next on the list was “A Wild Sheep Chase”. ![]()
