The Dancing Dwarf Murakami

Just finished reading an early collection of short stories,. The volume begins with the story that would eventually become the opening chapter of (worth rereading, certainly) and a bouquet of his most riveting miniatures. My favourites included the darkly exuberant Sleep, The Dancing Dwarf, Slow Boat to China (actually gasped aloud in that one; so poignant), and the eponymous title track. I’m really relishing this Murakami immersion. Making my way chronologically now through the rest.
