This is the story of a man taking a look at the failures and small victories he's experienced in his life, all the while trying to find his way out of Tokyo and trying to make sense of his dreams.
Review:
This was a really weird book, but I think I liked it. It has certainly made me think.
It's hard to describe this book and I certainly don't think it's a book everyone would enjoy, but I thought it was well-written, even beautiful in places, and quite gripping. There are some things in it that doesn't make sense to me, but the main story kept me intrigued to find out more.
It's reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, so if you like his work, I'd give this a go.
