Been a while between drinks for me and Murakami.
I've read this one before, or at least I'm pretty sure I have - yet there's no evidence of it here on extemporanea and I don't have any kind of sense-memory of reading it in the past. It all felt so familiar. Unnamed narrator and the Rat in their first outing, with much hanging around at J's Bar. His first novel, and so many of the elements already there in sketched form - most enjoyable.
