Book Review of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Muakami has become virtually a genre unto himself - hallucinatory prose where even mundane events (a lost cat, a telephone conversation) seem to carry within them the seed of a disturbing nightmare even when delivered with humor. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is one of his best. A masterpiece.
